Blessed Is the Man Who Trusts in You

¹ How lovely are Your ^(C1)dwelling places,
O Yahweh of hosts!

² My ^(C1)soul has longed and even ^(F1)fainted for the courts of Yahweh;
My heart and my flesh sing for joy to the ^(C2)living God.

³ Even the bird has found a home,
And the swallow a nest for herself, where she sets her young,
At Your ^(C1)altars, O Yahweh of hosts,
^(C2)My King and my God.

⁴ How ^(C1)blessed are those who dwell in Your house!
They are ^(C2)ever praising You. ^Selah may mean Pause, Crescendo, Musical Interlude">(F1)Selah.

⁵ How blessed is the man whose ^(C1)strength is in You,
In ^(F1)whose heart are the ^(C2)highways to Zion!

⁶ Passing through the valley of ^(F1)Baca they make it a ^(F2)spring;
The ^(C1)early rain also wraps it up with blessings.

⁷ They ^(C1)go from strength to strength,
^(F1)Each one of them ^(C2)appears before God in Zion.

⁸ O ^(C1)Yahweh God of hosts, hear my prayer;
Give ear, O ^(C2)God of Jacob! Selah.

⁹ See our ^(C1)shield, O God,
And look upon the face of ^(C2)Your anointed.

¹⁰ For ^(C1)better is a day in Your courts than a thousand elsewhere.
I would choose to stand at the threshold of the house of my God
Than dwell in the tents of wickedness.

¹¹ For Yahweh God is ^(C1)a sun and ^(C2)shield;
Yahweh gives grace and ^(C3)glory;
^(C4)No good thing does He withhold ^(F1)from those who walk blamelessly.

¹² O Yahweh of hosts,
How ^(C1)blessed is the man who trusts in You!
