1Unto the end, for the sons of Core, a psalm.
1How lovely are your dwellings, LORD of Armies!
2Lord, thou hast blessed thy land: thou hast turned away the captivity of Jacob.
2My soul longs, and even faints for the courts of the LORD. My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
3Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people: thou hast covered all their sins.
3Yes, the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young, near your altars, LORD of Armies, my King, and my God.
4Thou hast mitigated all thy anger: thou best turned away from the wrath of thy indignation.
4Blessed are those who dwell in your house. They are always praising you. Selah.
5Convert us, O God our saviour: and turn off thy anger from us.
5Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on a pilgrimage.
6Wilt thou be angry with us for ever: or wilt thou extend thy wrath from generation to generation?
6Passing through the valley of Weeping, they make it a place of springs. Yes, the autumn rain covers it with blessings.
7Thou wilt turn, O God, and bring us to life: and thy people shall rejoice in thee.
7They go from strength to strength. Every one of them appears before God in Zion.
8Shew us, O Lord, thy mercy; and grant us thy salvation.
8LORD, God of Armies, hear my prayer. Listen, God of Jacob. Selah.
9I will hear what the Lord God will speak in me: for he will speak peace unto his people: And unto his saints: and unto them that are converted to the heart.
9Behold, God our shield, look at the face of your anointed.
10Surely his salvation is near to them that fear him: that glory may dwell in our land.
10For a day in your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11Mercy and truth have met each other: justice and peace have kissed.
11For the LORD God is a sun and a shield. The LORD will give grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly.
12Truth is sprung out of the earth: and justice hath looked down from heaven.
12LORD of Armies, blessed is the man who trusts in you.
13For the Lord will give goodness: and our earth shall yield her fruit.
