1 For the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.
2 My soul longs, and even faints for the courts of the LORD.
3 Yes, the sparrow has found a home,
4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house.
5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
6 Passing through the valley of Weeping, they make it a place of springs.
7 They go from strength to strength.
8 LORD, God of Armies, hear my prayer.
9 Behold, God our shield,
10 For a day in your courts is better than a thousand.
11 For the LORD God is a sun and a shield.
12 LORD of Armies,
