¹ [1]ⓐ ⓑ Howⓒ lovely is yourⓓ dwelling place, O LORD of hosts!

² My soulⓔ longs, yes,ⓕ faints for the courts of the LORD; my heart and flesh sing for joy toⓖ the living God.

³ Even the sparrow finds a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, at your altars, O LORD of hosts, ⓗmy King and my God.

⁴ ⓘ Blessed are those who dwell in your house, everⓙ singing your praise! Selah

⁵ Blessed are those whose strength is in you, ⓚin whose heart are the highways to Zion.[2]

⁶ As they go through the Valley of Baca they make it a place of springs; ⓛthe early rain also covers it withⓜ pools.

⁷ They goⓝ from strength to strength; each oneⓞ appears before God in Zion.

⁸ Oⓟ LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah

⁹ ⓠ Behold ourⓡ shield, O God; look on the face of your anointed!

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

¹¹ For the LORD God isⓤ a sun andⓥ shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor. ⓦNo good thing does he withhold from those whoⓧ walk uprightly.

¹² O LORD of hosts, ⓨblessed is the one who trusts in you!
