1HowH4100 lovelyH3039 are Your 1dwellingH4908 placesH4908, O LordH3068 of hostsH6635!2My 2soulH5315 longedH3700 and evenH1571 yearnedH3615 for the courtsH2691 of the LordH3068; My heartH3820 and my fleshH1320 singH7442 for joyH7442 to the 3livingH2416 GodH410.3The birdH6833 alsoH1571 has foundH4672 a houseH1004, And the swallowH1866 a nestH7064 for herself, whereH834 she may layH7896 her youngH667, Even Your 4altarsH4196, O LordH3068 of hostsH6635, 5My KingH4428 and my GodH430.4How 6blessedH835 are those who dwellH3427 in Your houseH1004! They are 7everH5750 praisingH1984 You. 8SelahH5542.

5How blessedH835 is the manH120 whose 9strengthH5797 is in You, In 10whose heartH3824 are the 11highwaysH4546 to Zion!6PassingH5674 through the valleyH6010 of 12BacaH1056 they makeH7896 it a 13springH4599; The 14earlyH4175 rainH4175 alsoH1571 coversH5844 it with blessingsH1293.7They 15goH1980 from strengthH2428 to strengthH2428, 16Every one of them 17appearsH7200 beforeH413 GodH430 in ZionH6726.
