My soul longs, yea, even faints for the courts of Jehovah. My heart and my flesh cry out to the living God.

Yea, the sparrow has found her a house, and the swallow a nest for herself where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O Jehovah of hosts, my King and my God.

5 How blessed! [is] a person [who] strength to him [is] in you [whom] highways [are] in heart their.
Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee, in whose heart are the highways to Zion.
6 [those who] pass - In [the] valley of Baca a spring they make it also blessings it covers [it] early rain.
Passing through the valley of weeping they make it a place of springs. Yea, the early rain covers it with blessings.

They go from strength to strength; each one of them appears before God in Zion.

O Jehovah God of hosts, hear my prayer. Give ear, O God of Jacob. (Selah)
9 Shield our look at O God and pay attention to [the] face of anointed your.
Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.
10 For [is] good a day in courts your more than a thousand I have chosen to stand at [the] threshold in [the] house of God my more than dwelling in [the] tents of wickedness.
For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

For Jehovah God is a sun and a shield. Jehovah will give grace and glory. He will withhold no good thing from those who walk uprightly.

O Jehovah of hosts, blessed is the man who trusts in thee.
