Who have said, `Let us occupy for ourselves The comely places of God.'

O my God, make them as a rolling thing, As stubble before wind.

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.

They go from strength unto strength, He appeareth unto God in Zion.

O Jehovah, God of Hosts, hear my prayer, Give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.

Our shield, see, O God, And behold the face of Thine anointed,

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.

Turn back [to] us, O God of our salvation, And make void Thine anger with us.

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

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

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

I confess Thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I honour Thy name to the age.

O God, the proud have risen up against me, And a company of the terrible sought my soul, And have not placed Thee before them,

And Thou, O Lord, [art] God, merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in kindness and truth.

Honourable things are spoken in Thee, O city of God. Selah.

A Song, a Psalm, by sons of Korah, to the Overseer, `Concerning the Sickness of Afflictions.' -- An instruction, by Heman the Ezrahite. O Jehovah, God of my salvation, Daily I have cried, nightly before Thee,

God is very terrible, In the secret counsel of His holy ones, And fearful over all surrounding Him.

O Jehovah, God of Hosts, Who [is] like Thee -- a strong Jah? And Thy faithfulness [is] round about Thee.
