לַמְנַצֵּ֥חַ עַֽל־הַגִּתִּ֑ית לִבְנֵי־קֹ֥רַח מִזְמֹֽור׃ מַה־יְּדִידֹ֥ות מִשְׁכְּנֹותֶ֗יךָ יְהוָ֥ה צְבָאֹֽות׃ 1
For the choirmaster. According to Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. How lovely is Your dwelling place, O LORD of Hosts!
נִכְסְפָ֬ה וְגַם־כָּלְתָ֨ה ׀ נַפְשִׁי֮ לְחַצְרֹ֪ות יְה֫וָ֥ה לִבִּ֥י וּבְשָׂרִ֑י יְ֝רַנְּנ֗וּ אֶ֣ל אֵֽל־חָֽי׃ 2
My soul longs, even faints, for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
גַּם־צִפֹּ֨ור ׀ מָ֪צְאָה בַ֡יִת וּדְרֹ֤ור ׀ קֵ֥ן לָהּ֮ אֲשֶׁר־שָׁ֪תָה אֶפְרֹ֫חֶ֥יהָ אֶֽת־מִ֭זְבְּחֹותֶיךָ יְהוָ֣ה צְבָאֹ֑ות מַ֝לְכִּ֗י וֵאלֹהָֽי׃ 3
Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she places her young near Your altars, O LORD of Hosts, my King and my God.
אַ֭שְׁרֵי יֹושְׁבֵ֣י בֵיתֶ֑ךָ עֹ֝֗וד יְֽהַלְל֥וּךָ סֶּֽלָה׃ 4
How blessed are those who dwell in Your house! They are ever praising You.
אַשְׁרֵ֣י אָ֭דָם עֹֽוז־לֹ֥ו בָ֑ךְ מְ֝סִלֹּ֗ות בִּלְבָבָֽם׃ 5
Blessed are those whose strength is in You, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.
עֹבְרֵ֤י ׀ בְּעֵ֣מֶק הַ֭בָּכָא מַעְיָ֣ן יְשִׁית֑וּהוּ גַּם־בְּ֝רָכֹ֗ות יַעְטֶ֥ה מֹורֶֽה׃ 6
As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs; even the autumn rain covers it with pools.
יֵ֭לְכוּ מֵחַ֣יִל אֶל־חָ֑יִל יֵרָאֶ֖ה אֶל־אֱלֹהִ֣ים בְּצִיֹּֽון׃ 7
They go from strength to strength, until each appears before God in Zion.
יְה֘וָ֤ה אֱלֹהִ֣ים צְ֭בָאֹות שִׁמְעָ֣ה תְפִלָּתִ֑י הַאֲזִ֨ינָה אֱלֹהֵ֖י יַעֲקֹ֣ב סֶֽלָה׃ 8
O LORD God of Hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob.
מָ֭גִנֵּנוּ רְאֵ֣ה אֱלֹהִ֑ים וְ֝הַבֵּ֗ט פְּנֵ֣י מְשִׁיחֶֽךָ׃ 9
Take notice of our shield, O God, and look with favor on the face of Your anointed.
כִּ֤י טֹֽוב־יֹ֥ום בַּחֲצֵרֶ֗יךָ מֵ֫אָ֥לֶף בָּחַ֗רְתִּי הִ֭סְתֹּופֵף בְּבֵ֣ית אֱלֹהַ֑י מִ֝דּ֗וּר בְּאָהֳלֵי־רֶֽשַׁע׃ 10
For better is one day in Your courts than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
כִּ֤י שֶׁ֨מֶשׁ ׀ וּמָגֵן֮ יְהוָ֪ה אֱלֹ֫הִ֥ים חֵ֣ן וְ֭כָבֹוד יִתֵּ֣ן יְהוָ֑ה לֹ֥א יִמְנַע־טֹ֝֗וב לַֽהֹלְכִ֥ים בְּתָמִֽים׃ 11
For the LORD God is a sun and a shield; the LORD gives grace and glory; He withholds no good thing from those who walk with integrity.
יְהוָ֥ה צְבָאֹ֑ות אַֽשְׁרֵ֥י אָ֝דָ֗ם בֹּטֵ֥חַ בָּֽךְ׃ 12
O LORD of Hosts, how blessed is the man who trusts in You!
