1 To him that excelleth vpon Gittith. A Psalme committed to the sonnes of Korah. O Lord of hostes, howe amiable are thy Tabernacles! VP
2 My soule longeth, yea, and fainteth for the courtes of the Lord: for mine heart and my flesh reioyce in the liuing God. VP
3 Yea, the sparrowe hath found her an house, and the swallow a nest for her, where she may lay her yong: euen by thine altars, O Lord of hostes, my King and my God. VP
4 Blessed are they that dwell in thine house: they will euer praise thee. Selah. VP
5 Blessed is the man, whose strength is in thee, and in whose heart are thy wayes. VP
6 They going through the vale of Baca, make welles therein: the raine also couereth the pooles. VP
7 They goe from strength to strength, till euery one appeare before God in Zion. VP
8 O Lorde God of hostes, heare my prayer: hearken, O God of Iaakob. Selah. VP
9 Beholde, O God, our shielde, and looke vpon the face of thine Anointed. VP
10 For a day in thy courtes is better then a thousand other where: I had rather be a doore keeper in the House of my God, then to dwell in the Tabernacles of wickednesse. VP
11 For the Lord God is the sunne and shielde vnto vs: the Lord will giue grace and glory, and no good thing will he withhold from them that walke vprightly. VP
12 O Lorde of hostes, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee. VP
