How lovely the place you live

How lovely the place you live is, LORD Almighty. My soul longs, even faints, for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God. Even the sparrow has found a house and the swallow a nest for herself, where she can put her young — your altars, LORD Almighty, my King and my God. Blessed are those who live in your house. They'll keep on praising you. Selah. Blessed is the man whose strength is in you, whose heart is set on your ways. Going through the valley of weeping, they turn it into a place of springs. The early rain covers it with pools too. They go from strength to strength. Every one of them shows up before God in Zion. Lord God Almighty, hear my prayer. Turn your ear, God of Jacob. Selah. Look at our shield, God, and look at the face of your anointed. Because one day in your courts is better than a thousand anywhere else. I'd rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than live in the tents of wickedness. Because the LORD God is a sun and a shield. The LORD will give grace and glory. He won't hold back any good thing from those who walk uprightly. LORD Almighty, blessed is the man who trusts in you.

How lovely the place you live is, Lord Almighty. My soul longs and even faints for the courts of the Lord. My heart and my flesh sing out for the living God. Even the sparrow has found a house and the swallow a nest for herself, where she can put her young — your altars, Lord Almighty, my King and my God. Happy are the ones who live in your house. They'll keep on praising you. Happy is the man whose strength is in you, with your roads in his heart. Going through the valley of weeping, they turn it into a place of springs. The early rain covers it with pools too. They go from strength to strength. Every one of them shows up in front of God in Zion. Lord God Almighty, hear my prayer. Turn your ear, God of Jacob. Look at our shield, God, and look at the face of your anointed. Because one day in your courts is better than a thousand anywhere else. I'd rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than live in the tents of wickedness. Because the Lord God is a sun and a shield. The Lord will give grace and glory. He won't hold back any good thing from the ones who walk straight. Lord Almighty, happy is the man who trusts in you.

How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts! My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God. Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God. Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah. Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them. Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools. They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God. O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah. Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed. 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 the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
