Wie lieblich sind deine Wohnungen, o Herr! Es sehnt sich meine Seele nach dem Vorhof des Herrn. Mein Herz frohlockt in dem lebendigen Gotte. Denn der Sperling findet sein Haus, und die Taube Obdach im Sturm, ich finde deine Altäre, o du mein König, Herr und Gott! Selig sind, die in deinem Hause wohnen, in alle Ewigkeit loben sie dich! Barmherzigkeit und Wahrheit liebt Gott, und denen, die da wandeln in Unschuld, gibt er Gnade und Herrlichkeit.

Hoe lieflijk! O hoe lieflijk zijn toch uw woningen, o Heer! Mijn ziel is vol verlangen naar de voorhof des Heren. Mijn hart juicht luid voor de levende God. Want het musje vindt wel zijn huis, En de duif een schuilplek als ’t stormt, Ik vind dus wel uw altaren, o Gij mijn Koning, Heer en God! Zalig, zalig, zalig zij, die in uw paleizen wonen, In alle eeuwigheid, in alle eeuwigheid loven zij God! In alle eeuwigheid, in alle eeuwigheid loven zij U! Barmhartigheid en waarheid wil God. En mensen die hier wand’len in onschuld, begiftigt Hij, geeft Hij genade en heerlijkheid! O hoe lieflijk, o hoe lieflijk zijn toch uw woningen, o Heer! Hoe lieflijk zijn toch uw woningen!
