To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.
1 How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!
2 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.
3 Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.
4 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah.
5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them .
6 Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.
7 They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.
8 O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.
9 Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.
10 For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
12 O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
1 Εἰς τὸ τέλος· τοῖς υἱοῖς Κορε ψαλμός.
2 Εὐδόκησας, κύριε, τὴν γῆν σου,
ἀπέστρεψας τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν Ιακωβ·
3 ἀφῆκας τὰς ἀνομίας τῷ λαῷ σου,
ἐκάλυψας πάσας τὰς ἁμαρτίας αὐτῶν.
διάψαλμα.
4 κατέπαυσας πᾶσαν τὴν ὀργήν σου,
ἀπέστρεψας ἀπὸ ὀργῆς θυμοῦ σου.
5 ἐπίστρεψον ἡμᾶς, ὁ θεὸς τῶν σωτηρίων ἡμῶν,
καὶ ἀπόστρεψον τὸν θυμόν σου ἀφ᾽ ἡμῶν.
6 μὴ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ὀργισθήσῃ ἡμῖν
ἢ διατενεῖς τὴν ὀργήν σου ἀπὸ γενεᾶς εἰς γενεάν;
7 ὁ θεός, σὺ ἐπιστρέψας ζωώσεις ἡμᾶς,
καὶ ὁ λαός σου εὐφρανθήσεται ἐπὶ σοί.
8 δεῖξον ἡμῖν, κύριε, τὸ ἔλεός σου
καὶ τὸ σωτήριόν σου δῴης ἡμῖν.
9 ἀκούσομαι τί λαλήσει ἐν ἐμοὶ κύριος ὁ θεός,
ὅτι λαλήσει εἰρήνην ἐπὶ τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ
καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς ὁσίους αὐτοῦ
καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς ἐπιστρέφοντας πρὸς αὐτὸν καρδίαν.
10 πλὴν ἐγγὺς τῶν φοβουμένων αὐτὸν τὸ σωτήριον αὐτοῦ
τοῦ κατασκηνῶσαι δόξαν ἐν τῇ γῇ ἡμῶν.
11 ἔλεος καὶ ἀλήθεια συνήντησαν,
δικαιοσύνη καὶ εἰρήνη κατεφίλησαν·
12 ἀλήθεια ἐκ τῆς γῆς ἀνέτειλεν,
καὶ δικαιοσύνη ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ διέκυψεν.
13 καὶ γὰρ ὁ κύριος δώσει χρηστότητα,
καὶ ἡ γῆ ἡμῶν δώσει τὸν καρπὸν αὐτῆς·
14 δικαιοσύνη ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ προπορεύσεται
καὶ θήσει εἰς ὁδὸν τὰ διαβήματα αὐτοῦ.
