| 1 For the choir director; on the Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. How lovely are Your dwelling places, O LORD of hosts! | 1 How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts! | 1 [For the choir director; on the [gittith]; a psalm by Korah's descendants.] Your dwelling place is lovely, O LORD of Armies! | 1 How lovely are your dwellings, Yahweh of Armies! | 1 {To the chief Musician. Upon the Gittith. Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm.} How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Jehovah of hosts! | 2 My soul longed and even yearned for the courts of the LORD; My heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living God. | 2 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God. | 2 My soul longs and yearns for the LORD's courtyards. My whole body shouts for joy to the living God. | 2 My soul longs, and even faints for the courts of Yahweh. My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God. | 2 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of Jehovah; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living �God. | 3 The bird also has found a house, And the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, Even Your altars, O LORD of hosts, My King and my God. | 3 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. | 3 Even sparrows find a home, and swallows find a nest for themselves. There they hatch their young near your altars, O LORD of Armies, my king and my God. | 3 Yes, the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young, near your altars, Yahweh of Armies, my King, and my God. | 3 Yea, the sparrow hath found a house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she layeth her young, thine altars, O Jehovah of hosts, my King and my God. | 4 How blessed are those who dwell in Your house! They are ever praising You. Selah. | 4 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah. | 4 Blessed are those who live in your house. They are always praising you. [Selah] | 4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house. They are always praising you. Selah. | 4 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be constantly praising thee. Selah. | 5 How blessed is the man whose strength is in You, In whose heart are the highways to Zion! | 5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them. | 5 Blessed are those who find strength in you. Their hearts are on the road [that leads to you]. | 5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you; who have set their hearts on a pilgrimage. | 5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee, they, in whose heart are the highways. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 6 Passing through the valley of Baca they make it a spring; The early rain also covers it with blessings. | 6 Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools. | 6 As they pass through a valley where balsam trees grow, they make it a place of springs. The early rains cover it with blessings. | 6 Passing through the valley of Weeping, they make it a place of springs. Yes, the autumn rain covers it with blessings. | 6 Passing through the valley of Baca, they make it a well-spring; yea, the early rain covereth it with blessings. | 7 They go from strength to strength, Every one of them appears before God in Zion. | 7 They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God. | 7 Their strength grows as they go along until each one of them appears in front of God in Zion. | 7 They go from strength to strength. Everyone of them appears before God in Zion. | 7 They go from strength to strength: each one will appear before God in Zion. | 8 O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer; Give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah. | 8 O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah. | 8 O LORD God, commander of armies, hear my prayer. Open your ears, O God of Jacob. [Selah] | 8 Yahweh, God of Armies, hear my prayer. Listen, God of Jacob. Selah. | 8 Jehovah, God of hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah. | 9 Behold our shield, O God, And look upon the face of Your anointed. | 9 Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed. | 9 Look at our shield, O God. Look with favor on the face of your anointed one. | 9 Behold, God our shield, look at the face of your anointed. | 9 Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed. | 10 For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand outside. I would rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God Than dwell in the tents of wickedness. | 10 For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. | 10 One day in your courtyards is better than a thousand [anywhere else]. I would rather stand in the entrance to my God's house than live inside wicked people's homes. | 10 For a day in your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. | 10 For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God, than dwell in the tents of wickedness. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
