1For the end, a Psalm for the sons of Core.
1How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts!
2O Lord, thou hast taken pleasure in thy land: thou hast turned back the captivity of Jacob.
2My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the Lord: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.
3Thou hast forgiven thy people their transgressions; thou hast covered all their sins. Pause.
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.
4Thou hast caused all thy wrath to cease: thou hast turned from thy fierce anger.
4Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah.
5Turn us, O God of our salvation, and turn thine anger away from us.
5Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.
6Wouldest thou be angry with us for ever? or wilt thou continue thy wrath from generation to generation?
6Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.
7O God, thou wilt turn and quicken us; and thy people shall rejoice in thee.
7They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.
8Shew us thy mercy, O Lord , and grant us thy salvation.
8O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.
9I 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.
9Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.
10Moreover his salvation is near them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.
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.
11Mercy and truth are met together: righteousness and peace have kissed [each other].
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.
12Truth has sprung out of the earth; and righteousness has looked down from heaven.
12O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
