God

Fill their faces with shame, And they seek Thy name, O Jehovah.

And they know that Thou--(Thy name is Jehovah--by Thyself,) Art the Most High over all the earth!

To the Overseer. --`On the Gittith By sons of Korah.' --A Psalm. How beloved Thy tabernacles, Jehovah of Hosts!

My soul desired, yea, it hath also been consumed, For the courts of Jehovah, My heart and my flesh cry aloud unto the living God,

(Even a sparrow hath found a house, And a swallow a nest for herself, Where she hath placed her brood,) Thine altars, O Jehovah of Hosts, My king and my God.

O the happiness of those inhabiting Thy house, Yet do they praise Thee. Selah.

O the happiness of a man whose strength is in Thee, Highways are in their heart.

They go from strength unto strength, He appeareth unto God in Zion.

O Jehovah, God of Hosts, hear my prayer, Give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.

Our shield, see, O God, And behold the face of Thine anointed,

For good is a day in Thy courts, O Teacher! I have chosen rather to be at the threshold, In the house of my God, Than to dwell in tents of wickedness.

For a sun and a shield is Jehovah God, Grace and honour doth Jehovah give. He withholdeth not good To those walking in uprightness.

Jehovah of Hosts! O the happiness of a man trusting in Thee.

To the Overseer. --By sons of Korah. A Psalm. Thou hast accepted, O Jehovah, Thy land, Thou hast turned to the captivity of Jacob.

Thou hast borne away the iniquity of Thy people, Thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.

Thou hast gathered up all Thy wrath, Thou hast turned back from the fierceness of Thine anger.

Turn back to us, O God of our salvation, And make void Thine anger with us.

To the age art Thou angry against us? Dost Thou draw out Thine anger To generation and generation?

Dost Thou not turn back? Thou revivest us, And Thy people do rejoice in Thee.

Show us, O Jehovah, thy kindness, And Thy salvation Thou dost give to us.

I hear what God Jehovah speaketh, For He speaketh peace unto His people, And unto His saints, and they turn not back to folly.

Only, near to those fearing Him is His salvation, That honour may dwell in our land.

Jehovah also giveth that which is good, And our land doth give its increase.

Righteousness before Him goeth, And maketh His footsteps for a way!

A Prayer of David. Incline, O Jehovah, Thine ear, Answer me, for I am poor and needy.
