English translation
How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts!
My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the Lord:
my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.
Yea, 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.
Blessed are they that dwell in thy house:
they will be still praising thee.
O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer:
give ear, O God of Jacob.
Behold, O God our shield,
and look upon the face of thine anointed.
O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man
that trusteth in thee.
