[1] Lord All-Powerful, your temple is really lovely.
[2] Lord, I can’t wait to enter your temple. I'm so excited! Every part of me wants to be with the Living God.
[3] Lord All-Powerful, my King, my God, even the birds have found a home in your temple. They make their nests near your altar. And there they have their babies.
[4] People living at your temple are very fortunate. They are still praising you. selah
[5] People coming to the temple with songs in their heart are very happy!
[6] They travel through Baca Valley which God has made like a spring. Autumn rains form pools of water.
[7] The people travel from town to town, on their way to Zion, where they will meet with God.
[8] Lord God All-Powerful, listen to my prayer. God of Jacob, listen to me. selah
[9] God, protect our protector. Be kind to your chosen king.
[10] One day in your temple is better than a thousand days in any other place. Standing at the gate of my God’s house is better than living in the house of a wicked man.
[11] The Lord is our protector and glorious king. God blesses us with kindness and glory. The Lord gives every good thing to people who follow and obey him.
[12] Lord All-Powerful, people who trust you are truly happy!
