For the Leader; upon the Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.
2מַה־יְּדִיד֥וֹת מִשְׁכְּנוֹתֶ֗יךָ יְהוָ֥ה צְבָאֽוֹת׃
ma-yedidot mishkenotekha ADONAI tzevaot
How lovely are Thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!
3נִכְסְפָ֬ה וְגַם־כָּלְתָ֨ה ׀ נַפְשִׁי֮ לְחַצְר֪וֹת יְה֫וָ֥ה לִבִּ֥י וּבְשָׂרִ֑י יְ֝רַנְּנ֗וּ אֶ֣ל אֵֽל־חָֽי׃
nikhsefa vegam-kalta nafshi lechatzrot ADONAI libbi uvesari yerannenu el el-chay
My soul yearneth, yea, even pineth for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh sing for joy unto the living God.
4גַּם־צִפּ֨וֹר ׀ מָ֪צְאָה בַ֡יִת וּדְר֤וֹר ׀ קֵ֥ן לָהּ֮ אֲשֶׁר־שָׁ֪תָה אֶפְרֹ֫חֶ֥יהָ אֶֽת־מִ֭זְבְּחוֹתֶיךָ יְהוָ֣ה צְבָא֑וֹת מַ֝לְכִּ֗י וֵאלֹהָֽי׃
gam-tzippor matz'a vayit uderor ken lah asher-shata efrocheha et-mizbechotekha ADONAI tzevaot malki velohay
Yea, the sparrow hath found a house, and the swallow a nest for herself, Where she may lay her young; Thine altars, O LORD of hosts, My King, and my God—
5אַ֭שְׁרֵי יוֹשְׁבֵ֣י בֵיתֶ֑ךָ ע֝֗וֹד יְֽהַלְל֥וּךָ סֶּֽלָה׃
ashre yoshve vetekha od yehallukha sela
Happy are they that dwell in Thy house, they are ever praising Thee. Selah
6אַשְׁרֵ֣י אָ֭דָם עֽוֹז־ל֥וֹ בָ֑ךְ מְ֝סִלּ֗וֹת בִּלְבָבָֽם׃
ashre adam oz-lo vakh mesillot bilvavam
Happy is the man whose strength is in Thee; in whose heart are the highways.
7עֹבְרֵ֤י ׀ בְּעֵ֣מֶק הַ֭בָּכָא מַעְיָ֣ן יְשִׁית֑וּהוּ גַּם־בְּ֝רָכ֗וֹת יַעְטֶ֥ה מוֹרֶֽה׃
ovre be'emek habbakha ma'yan yeshituhu gam-berakhot ya'te more
Passing through the valley of Baca they make it a place of springs; yea, the early rain clotheth it with blessings.
8יֵ֭לְכוּ מֵחַ֣יִל אֶל־חָ֑יִל יֵרָאֶ֖ה אֶל־אֱלֹהִ֣ים בְּצִיּֽוֹן׃
yelkhu mechayil el-chayil yera'e el-elohim betziyyon
They go from strength to strength, every one of them appeareth before God in Zion.
9יְה֘וָ֤ה אֱלֹהִ֣ים צְ֭בָאוֹת שִׁמְעָ֣ה תְפִלָּתִ֑י הַאֲזִ֨ינָה אֱלֹהֵ֖י יַעֲקֹ֣ב סֶֽלָה׃
ADONAI elohim tzevaot shim'a tefillati ha'azina elohe ya'akov sela
O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah
10מָ֭גִנֵּנוּ רְאֵ֣ה אֱלֹהִ֑ים וְ֝הַבֵּ֗ט פְּנֵ֣י מְשִׁיחֶֽךָ׃
maginnenu re'e elohim vehabbet pene meshichekha
Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of Thine anointed.
11כִּ֤י טֽוֹב־י֥וֹם בַּחֲצֵרֶ֗יךָ מֵ֫אָ֥לֶף בָּחַ֗רְתִּי הִ֭סְתּוֹפֵף בְּבֵ֣ית אֱלֹהַ֑י מִ֝דּ֗וּר בְּאָהֳלֵי־רֶֽשַׁע׃
ki tov-yom bachatzerekha me'alef bacharti histofef bevet elohay middur be'ahole-resha'
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 to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
12כִּ֤י שֶׁ֨מֶשׁ ׀ וּמָגֵן֮ יְהוָ֪ה אֱלֹ֫הִ֥ים חֵ֣ן וְ֭כָבוֹד יִתֵּ֣ן יְהוָ֑ה לֹ֥א יִמְנַע־ט֝֗וֹב לַֽהֹלְכִ֥ים בְּתָמִֽים׃
ki shemesh umagen ADONAI elohim chen vekhavod yitten ADONAI lo yimna'-tov laholkhim betamim
For the LORD God is a sun and a shield; the LORD giveth grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly.
13יְהוָ֥ה צְבָא֑וֹת אַֽשְׁרֵ֥י אָ֝דָ֗ם בֹּטֵ֥חַ בָּֽךְ׃
ADONAI tzevaot ashre adam boteach bakh
O LORD of hosts, happy is the man that trusteth in Thee.
