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

O my God, make them like the whirling dust, Like chaff before the wind.

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

O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer; Give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah.

Behold our shield, O God, And look upon the face of Your anointed.

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 Lord God is a sun and shield; The Lord gives grace and glory; No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly.

Restore us, O God of our salvation, And cause Your indignation toward us to cease.

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.

I will give thanks to You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And will glorify Your name forever.

O God, arrogant men have risen up against me, And a band of violent men have sought my life, And they have not set You before them.

But You, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, Slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness and truth.

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