1(85) For the end, a Psalm for the sons of Core. O Lord, you have taken pleasure in your land: you have turned back the captivity of Jacob.
1How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts!
2You have forgiven your people their transgressions; you have covered all their sins. Pause.
2My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the Lord: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.
3You have caused all your wrath to cease: you have turned from your fierce anger.
3Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O Lord of hosts, my King, and my God.
4Turn us, O God of our salvation, and turn your anger away from us.
4Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah.
5Wouldest you be angry with us for ever? or will you continue your wrath from generation to generation?
5Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.
6O God, you will turn and quicken us; and your people shall rejoice in you.
6Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.
7Show us your mercy, O Lord, and grant us your salvation.
7They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.
8I will hear what the Lord God will say concerning me: for he shall speak peace to his people, and to his saints, and to those that turn their heart toward him.
8O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.
9Moreover his salvation is near them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.
9Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.
10Mercy and truth are met together: righteousness and peace have kissed [each other].
10For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11Truth has sprung out of the earth; and righteousness has looked down from heaven.
11For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
12For the Lord will give goodness; and our land shall yield her fruit.
12O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
