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.
1For the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by the sons of Korah. How lovely are your dwellings, Yahweh of Armies!
2You have forgiven your people their transgressions; you have covered all their sins. Pause.
2My soul longs, and even faints for the courts of Yahweh. My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
3You have caused all your wrath to cease: you have turned from your fierce anger.
3Yes, the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young, near your altars, Yahweh of Armies, my King, and my God.
4Turn us, O God of our salvation, and turn your anger away from us.
4Blessed are those who dwell in your house. They are always praising you. Selah.
5Wouldest you be angry with us for ever? or will you continue your wrath from generation to generation?
5Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on a pilgrimage.
6O God, you will turn and quicken us; and your people shall rejoice in you.
6Passing through the valley of Weeping, they make it a place of springs. Yes, the autumn rain covers it with blessings.
7Show us your mercy, O Lord, and grant us your salvation.
7They go from strength to strength. Every one of them appears before God in Zion.
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.
8Yahweh, God of Armies, hear my prayer. Listen, God of Jacob. Selah.
9Moreover his salvation is near them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.
9Behold, God our shield, look at the face of your anointed.
10Mercy and truth are met together: righteousness and peace have kissed [each other].
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.
11Truth has sprung out of the earth; and righteousness has looked down from heaven.
11For Yahweh God is a sun and a shield. Yahweh will give grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly.
12For the Lord will give goodness; and our land shall yield her fruit.
12Yahweh of Armies, blessed is the man who trusts in you.
