My soul desired, yea, it hath also been consumed, For the courts of Jehovah, My heart and my flesh cry aloud unto the living God,

(Even a sparrow hath found a house, And a swallow a nest for herself, Where she hath placed her brood,) Thine altars, O Jehovah of Hosts, My king and my God.

For good [is] a day in Thy courts, O Teacher! I have chosen rather to be at the threshold, In the house of my God, Than to dwell in tents of wickedness.

For a sun and a shield [is] Jehovah God, Grace and honour doth Jehovah give. He withholdeth not good To those walking in uprightness.

I hear what God Jehovah speaketh, For He speaketh peace unto His people, And unto His saints, and they turn not back to folly.

Righteousness before Him goeth, And maketh His footsteps for a way!

A Prayer of David. Incline, O Jehovah, Thine ear, Answer me, for I [am] poor and needy.

Keep my soul, for I [am] pious, Save Thy servant -- who is trusting to Thee, O Thou, my God.

Rejoice the soul of Thy servant, For unto Thee, O Lord, my soul I lift up.

For Thou, Lord, [art] good and forgiving. And abundant in kindness to all calling Thee.

In a day of my distress I call Thee, For Thou dost answer me.

For great [art] Thou, and doing wonders, Thou [art] God Thyself alone.

For Thy kindness [is] great toward me, And Thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.

Do with me a sign for good, And those hating me see and are ashamed, For Thou, O Jehovah, hast helped me, Yea, Thou hast comforted me!

For my soul hath been full of evils, And my life hath come to Sheol.

For I said, `To the age is kindness built, The heavens! Thou dost establish Thy faithfulness in them.'
