## Blessed Is the Man Who Trusts in You 

###### 1
How lovely are Your dwelling places, O Yahweh of hosts! 

###### 2
My soul has longed and even fainted for the courts of Yahweh; My heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living God. 

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

###### 4
How blessed are those who dwell in Your house! They are ever praising You. Selah. 

###### 5
How blessed is the man whose strength is in You, In whose heart are the highways _to Zion_! 

###### 6
Passing through the valley of Baca they make it a spring; The early rain also wraps it up with blessings. 

###### 7
They go from strength to strength, _Each one of them_ appears before God in Zion. 

###### 8
O Yahweh God of hosts, hear my prayer; Give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah. 

###### 9
See our shield, O God, And look upon the face of Your anointed. 

###### 10
For 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 a sun and shield; Yahweh gives grace and glory; No good thing does He withhold from those who walk blamelessly. 

###### 12
O Yahweh of hosts, How blessed is the man who trusts in You!
