1Lord of heaven’s armies,
how lovely is your Temple!
2I want to be in
the courtyards of the Lord’s Temple.
My whole being wants
to be with the living God.
3The sparrows have found a home.
And the swallows have nests.
They raise their young near your altars,
Lord of heaven’s armies, my King and my God.
4Happy are the people who live at your Temple.
They are always praising you. Selah
5Happy are those whose strength comes from you.
They want to travel to Jerusalem.
6As they pass through the Valley of Baca,
they make it like a spring.
The autumn rains fill it with pools of water.
7The people get stronger as they go.
And everyone meets with God in Jerusalem.
8Lord God of heaven’s armies, hear my prayer.
God of Jacob, listen to me. Selah
9God, look at our shield.
Be kind to your appointed king.
10One day in the courtyards of your Temple is better
than a thousand days anywhere else.
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the Temple of my God
than live in the homes of the wicked.
11The Lord God is like our sun and shield.
The Lord gives us kindness and glory.
He does not hold back anything good
from those whose life is innocent.
12Lord of heaven’s armies,
happy are the people who trust you!
