O Yahweh God of hosts, hear my prayer;
Give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah.
See our shield, O God,
And look upon the face of Your anointed.
For better is a day in Your courts than a thousand elsewhere.
I would choose to stand at the threshold of the house of my God
Than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
For Yahweh God is a sun and shield;
Yahweh gives grace and glory;
No good thing does He withhold from those who walk blamelessly.
O Yahweh of hosts,
How blessed is the man who trusts in You!

That they may know that You alone—Your name is Yahweh—
Are the Most High over all the earth.

How long will you judge unrighteously
And show partiality to the wicked? Selah.
Give justice to the poor and the orphan;
Justify the afflicted and destitute.
Protect the poor and needy;
Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.

Oh that My people would listen to Me,

Revive us, and we will call upon Your name.
O Yahweh God of hosts, restore us;
Cause Your face to shine upon us, that we might be saved.

But as for us, as Your people and the sheep of Your pasture,
We will give thanks to You forever;
From generation to generation we will recount Your praise.

For He established a testimony in Jacob
And set a law in Israel,
Which He commanded our fathers
That they should teach them to their children,
That the generation to come might know, even the children yet to be born,
That they may arise and recount them to their children,
That they should set their confidence in God
And not forget the deeds of God,
But observe His commandments,
And not be like their fathers,
A stubborn and rebellious generation,
A generation that did not prepare its heart
And whose spirit was not faithful to God.

Make vows to Yahweh your God and pay them;
Let all who are around Him bring gifts to the Fearsome One.

But as for me, I will declare it forever;
I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
And all the horns of the wicked I will cut off,
But the horns of the righteous will be raised up.

Arise, O God, and plead Your own cause;
Remember how the wicked fool reproaches You all day long.
Do not forget the voice of Your adversaries,
The rumbling of those who rise against You which ascends continually.
