1 How lovely are your dwellings, Yahweh of Hosts!

1 לַמְנַצֵּ֥חַ עַֽל־הַגִּתִּ֑ית לִבְנֵי־קֹ֥רַח מִזְמֹֽור׃

2 My soul longs, and even faints for the courts of Yahweh. My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

2 מַה־יְּדִידֹ֥ות מִשְׁכְּנֹותֶ֗יךָ יְהוָ֥ה צְבָאֹֽות׃

3 Yes, the sparrow has found a home, And the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young, Near your altars, Yahweh of Hosts, my King, and my God.

3 נִכְסְפָ֬ה וְגַם־כָּלְתָ֨ה׀ נַפְשִׁי֮ לְחַצְרֹ֪ות יְה֫וָ֥ה לִבִּ֥י וּבְשָׂרִ֑י יְ֝רַנְּנ֗וּ אֶ֣ל אֵֽל־חָֽי׃

4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house. They are always praising you. Selah.

4 גַּם־צִפֹּ֨ור׀ מָ֪צְאָה בַ֡יִת וּדְרֹ֤ור׀ קֵ֥ן לָהּ֮ אֲשֶׁר־שָׁ֪תָה אֶפְרֹ֫חֶ֥יהָ אֶֽת־מִ֭זְבְּחֹותֶיךָ יְהוָ֣ה צְבָאֹ֑ות מַ֝לְכִּ֗י וֵאלֹהָֽי׃

5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you; Who have set their hearts on a pilgrimage.

5 אַ֭שְׁרֵי יֹושְׁבֵ֣י בֵיתֶ֑ךָ עֹ֝֗וד יְֽהַלְל֥וּךָ סֶּֽלָה׃

6 Passing through the valley of Weeping, they make it a place of springs. Yes, the autumn rain covers it with blessings.

6 אַשְׁרֵ֣י אָ֭דָם עֹֽוז־לֹ֥ו בָ֑ךְ מְ֝סִלֹּ֗ות בִּלְבָבָֽם׃

7 They go from strength to strength. Everyone of them appears before God in Zion.

7 עֹבְרֵ֤י׀ בְּעֵ֣מֶק הַ֭בָּכָא מַעְיָ֣ן יְשִׁית֑וּהוּ גַּם־בְּ֝רָכֹ֗ות יַעְטֶ֥ה מֹורֶֽה׃

8 Yahweh, God of hosts, hear my prayer. Listen, God of Jacob. Selah.

8 יֵ֭לְכוּ מֵחַ֣יִל אֶל־חָ֑יִל יֵרָאֶ֖ה אֶל־אֱלֹהִ֣ים בְּצִיֹּֽון׃

9 Behold, God our shield, Look at the face of your anointed.

9 יְה֘וָ֤ה אֱלֹהִ֣ים צְ֭בָאֹות שִׁמְעָ֣ה תְפִלָּתִ֑י הַאֲזִ֨ינָה אֱלֹהֵ֖י יַעֲקֹ֣ב סֶֽלָה׃

10 For a day in your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, Than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

10 מָ֭גִנֵּנוּ רְאֵ֣ה אֱלֹהִ֑ים וְ֝הַבֵּ֗ט פְּנֵ֣י מְשִׁיחֶֽךָ׃

11 For Yahweh God is a sun and a shield. Yahweh will give grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly.

11 כִּ֤י טֹֽוב־יֹ֥ום בַּחֲצֵרֶ֗יךָ מֵ֫אָ֥לֶף בָּחַ֗רְתִּי הִ֭סְתֹּופֵף בְּבֵ֣ית אֱלֹהַ֑י מִ֝דּ֗וּר בְּאָהֳלֵי־רֶֽשַׁע׃

12 Yahweh of Hosts, Blessed is the man who trusts in you.

12 כִּ֤י שֶׁ֨מֶשׁ׀ וּמָגֵן֮ יְהוָ֪ה אֱלֹ֫הִ֥ים חֵ֣ן וְ֭כָבֹוד יִתֵּ֣ן יְהוָ֑ה לֹ֥א יִמְנַע־טֹ֝֗וב לַֽהֹלְכִ֥ים בְּתָמִֽים׃
