For the choir director; on the Gittith. A Psalm of Asaph. Sing for joy to God our strength; Shout joyfully to the God of Jacob.

For it is a statute for Israel, An ordinance of the God of Jacob.

He established it for a testimony in Joseph When he went throughout the land of Egypt. I heard a language that I did not know:

Arise, O God, judge the earth! For it is You who possesses all the nations.

For behold, Your enemies make an uproar, And those who hate You have exalted themselves.

For they have conspired together with one mind; Against You they make a covenant:

Who were destroyed at En-dor, Who became as dung for the ground.

Who said, "Let us possess for ourselves The pastures of God."

For the choir director; on the Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. How lovely are Your dwelling places, O Lord of hosts!

My soul longed and even yearned for the courts of the Lord ; My heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living God.

The bird also has found a house, And the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, Even Your altars, O Lord of hosts, My King and my God.

For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand outside. I would rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God Than dwell in the tents of wickedness.

For the choir director. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. O Lord , You showed favor to Your land; You restored the captivity of Jacob.

I will hear what God the Lord will say; For He will speak peace to His people, to His godly ones; But let them not turn back to folly.

Preserve my soul, for I am a godly man; O You my God, save Your servant who trusts in You.

Be gracious to me, O Lord, For to You I cry all day long.

Make glad the soul of Your servant, For to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
