1. Unto the end, for the winepresses, a psalm for the sons of Core.
2. How lovely are Thy tabernacles, O Lord of host!
3. My soul longeth and fainteth for the courts of the Lord. My heart and my flesh have rejoiced in the living God.
4. For the sparrow hath found herself a house, and the turtle a nest for herself where she may lay her young ones: Thy altars, O Lord of hosts, my king and my God.
5. Blessed are they that dwell in Thy house, O Lord: they shall praise Thee for ever and ever.
6. Blessed is the man whose help is from Thee: in his heart he hath disposed to ascend by steps,
7. In the vale of tears, in the place which be hath set.
8. For the lawgiver shall give a blessing, they shall go from virtue to virtue: the God of gods shall be seen in Sion.
9. O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob.
10. Behold, O God our protector: and look on the face of Thy Christ.
11. For better is one day in Thy courts above thousands. I have chosen to be an abject in the house of my God, rather than to dwell in the tabernacles of sinners.
12. For God loveth mercy and truth: the Lord will give grace and glory.

13. For they say: “Let us take possession
of the habitations of God!”
14. My God, make them like the whirlwind,
like stubble swept away by the wind!
15. As fire devours the forest,
as flame sets the mountains ablaze,
16. so pursue them in Thy tempest,
terrify them in Thy hurricane.
17. Cover their faces with ignominy,
that they may seek Thy name, Yahweh.
18. Let them be confounded and terrified forever,
put to shame and brought to ruin!
19. Let them know that Thou, whose name is Yahweh,
Thou alone art the Most High over all the earth!
of the habitations of God!”
