A song. A psalm of Asaph. O God, do not rest silently. Do not keep silent or be still, O God.

who said, "Let us take as our possession the pastures of God."

O my God, make them like the tumbleweed, like the chaff before wind.

My soul longs and even fails for the courtyards of Yahweh. My heart and flesh sing for joy to the living God.

Even a bird finds a home, and a swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, near your altars, O Yahweh of hosts, my king and my God.

They go from strength to strength, until each appears before God in Zion.

O Yahweh, God of hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah

Look at our shield, O God, and have regard for the face of your anointed one.

Because better is a day in your courtyards than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be at the threshold of the house of my God than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

Because Yahweh God is a sun and a shield; Yahweh gives grace and honor. He does not withhold good from those who walk blamelessly.

Restore us, O God of our salvation, and annul your vexation with us.

I will hear what God, Yahweh, will speak, because he will speak peace to his people, even his faithful ones, but let them not return to folly.

Watch over my life because I am faithful. You are my God; save your servant. I am the one who trusts you.

For you are great and doing wondrous things; you alone are God.

I will give you thanks, O Lord my God, with all my heart, and glorify your name forever,

O God, arrogant men have risen up against me, even a gang of ruthless men seek my life, but they do not set you before them.

But you, O Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger and abundant in loyal love and faithfulness.

Glorious things are spoken about you, O city of God. Selah
