1For the end, a Psalm for the sons of Core, concerning the wine-presses.
1Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
2How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts!
2For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
3My soul longs, and faints for the courts of the Lord: my heart and my flesh have exulted in the living God.
3They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.
4Yea, the sparrow has found himself a home, and the turtle-dove a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, [even] thine altars, O Lord of hosts, my King, and my God.
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 are they that dwell in thy house: they will praise thee evermore. Pause.
5For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:
6Blessed is the man whose help is of thee, O Lord; in his heart he has purposed to go up
6The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;
7the valley of weeping, to the place which he has appointed, for [there] the law-giver will grant blessings.
7Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;
8They shall go from strength to strength: the God of gods shall be seen in Sion.
8Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.
9O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer: hearken, O God of Jacob. Pause.
9Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
10Behold, O God our defender, and look upon the face of thine anointed.
10Which perished at En–dor: they became as dung for the earth.
11For one day in thy courts is better than thousands. I would rather be an abject in the house of God, than dwell in the tents of sinners.
11Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
12For 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.
12Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.
13O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusts in thee.
13O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.
