1(84) For the end, a Psalm for the sons of Core, concerning the wine presses. How amiable are your tabernacles, O Lord of hosts!
1Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
2My soul longs, and faints for the courts of the Lord: my heart and my flesh have exulted in the living god.
2For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
3Yes, the sparrow has found himself a home, and the turtle-dove a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, [even] your altars, O Lord of hosts, my King, and my God.
3They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.
4Blessed are they that dwell in your house: they will praise you evermore. Pause.
4They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
5Blessed is the man whose help is of you, O Lord; in his heart he has purposed to go up
5For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:
6the valley of weeping, to the place which he has appointed, for [there] the law-giver will grant blessings.
6The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;
7They shall go from strength to strength: the God of gods shall be seen in Sion.
7Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;
8O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer: listen, O God of Jacob. Pause.
8Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.
9Behold, O God our defender, and look upon the face of your anointed.
9Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
10For one day in your courts is better than thousands. I would rather be an abject in the house of God, than dwell in the tents of sinners.
10Which perished at En–dor: they became as dung for the earth.
11For the Lord loves mercy and truth: God will give grace and glory: the Lord will not withhold good things from them that walk in innocence.
11Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
12O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusts in you.
12Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.
