| א לַמְנַצֵּחַ עַל-הַגִּתִּית; לִבְנֵי-קֹרַח מִזְמוֹר. | 
1 For the Leader; upon the Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. | 
| ב מַה-יְּדִידוֹת מִשְׁכְּנוֹתֶיךָ-- יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת. | 
2 How lovely are Thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts! | 
| 
 
ג  נִכְסְפָה וְגַם-כָּלְתָה, נַפְשִׁי--    לְחַצְרוֹת יְהוָה: לִבִּי וּבְשָׂרִי-- יְרַנְּנוּ, אֶל אֵל-חָי.  | 
3 My soul yearneth, yea, even pineth for the courts of the LORD; {N} my heart and my flesh sing for joy unto the living God.  | 
| 
 
ד  גַּם-צִפּוֹר מָצְאָה בַיִת, וּדְרוֹר קֵן לָהּ--    אֲשֶׁר-שָׁתָה אֶפְרֹחֶיהָ: אֶת-מִזְבְּחוֹתֶיךָ, יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת-- מַלְכִּי, וֵאלֹהָי.  | 
4 Yea, the sparrow hath found a house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young; {N} Thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God--.  | 
| ה אַשְׁרֵי, יוֹשְׁבֵי בֵיתֶךָ-- עוֹד, יְהַלְלוּךָ סֶּלָה. | 
5 Happy are they that dwell in Thy house, they are ever praising Thee. Selah | 
| ו אַשְׁרֵי אָדָם, עוֹז-לוֹ בָךְ; מְסִלּוֹת, בִּלְבָבָם. | 
6 Happy is the man whose strength is in Thee; in whose heart are the highways. | 
| 
 
ז  עֹבְרֵי, בְּעֵמֶק הַבָּכָא--    מַעְיָן יְשִׁיתוּהוּ; גַּם-בְּרָכוֹת, יַעְטֶה מוֹרֶה.  | 
7 Passing through the valley of Baca they make it a place of springs; {N} yea, the early rain clotheth it with blessings.  | 
| ח יֵלְכוּ, מֵחַיִל אֶל-חָיִל; יֵרָאֶה אֶל-אֱלֹהִים בְּצִיּוֹן. | 
8 They go from strength to strength, every one of them appeareth before God in Zion. | 
| 
 
ט  יְהוָה אֱלֹהִים צְבָאוֹת,    שִׁמְעָה תְפִלָּתִי; הַאֲזִינָה אֱלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹב סֶלָה.  | 
9 O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer; {N} give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah  | 
| י מָגִנֵּנוּ, רְאֵה אֱלֹהִים; וְהַבֵּט, פְּנֵי מְשִׁיחֶךָ. | 
10 Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of Thine anointed. | 
| 
 
יא  כִּי טוֹב-יוֹם בַּחֲצֵרֶיךָ,    מֵאָלֶף: בָּחַרְתִּי--הִסְתּוֹפֵף, בְּבֵית אֱלֹהַי; מִדּוּר, בְּאָהֳלֵי-רֶשַׁע.  | 
11 For a day in Thy courts is better than a thousand; {N} I had rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.  | 
| 
 
יב  כִּי שֶׁמֶשׁ, וּמָגֵן--    יְהוָה אֱלֹהִים: חֵן וְכָבוֹד, יִתֵּן יְהוָה; לֹא יִמְנַע-טוֹב, לַהֹלְכִים בְּתָמִים.  | 
12 For the LORD God is a sun and a shield; {N} the LORD giveth grace and glory; {N} no good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly.  | 
| יג יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת-- אַשְׁרֵי אָדָם, בֹּטֵחַ בָּךְ. | 13 O LORD of hosts, happy is the man that trusteth in Thee. {P} |
