2My soul longs, and faints for the courts of the Lord: my heart and my flesh have exulted in the living god.
2My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the Lord: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.
3Yes, the sparrow has found himself a home, and the turtle-dove a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, [even] your altars, O Lord of hosts, my King, and my God.
3Yea, 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.
4Blessed are they that dwell in your house: they will praise you evermore. Pause.
4Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah.
5Blessed is the man whose help is of you, O Lord; in his heart he has purposed to go up
5Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.
6the valley of weeping, to the place which he has appointed, for [there] the law-giver will grant blessings.

7They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.
8O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer: listen, O God of Jacob. Pause.

9Behold, O God our defender, and look upon the face of your anointed.
9Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.
10For one day in your courts is better than thousands. I would rather be an abject in the house of God, than dwell in the tents of sinners.
10For 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.
11For the Lord loves mercy and truth: God will give grace and glory: the Lord will not withhold good things from them that walk in innocence.
11For 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.
12O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusts in you.
12O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
