1 victori pro torculari filiorum Core canticum
2 quam dilecta tabernacula tua Domine exercituum
3 desiderat et defecit anima mea in atria Domini
cor meum et caro mea laudabunt Deum viventem
4 siquidem avis invenit domum
et passer nidum sibi ubi ponat pullos suos
altaria tua Domine exercituum rex meus et Deus meus
5 beati qui habitant in domo tua adhuc laudabunt te semper
6 beatus homo cuius fortitudo est in te semitae in corde eius
7 transeuntes in valle fletus fontem ponent eam
8 benedictione quoque amicietur doctor
ibunt de fortitudine in fortitudinem
parebunt apud Deum in Sion
9 Domine Deus exercituum exaudi orationem meam
ausculta Deus Iacob semper
10 clipeus noster vide Deus et adtende faciem christi tui
11 quoniam melior est dies in atriis tuis super milia
elegi abiectus esse in domo Dei mei
magis quam habitare in tabernaculis impietatis
12 quia sol et scutum Dominus Deus
gratiam et gloriam dabit Dominus
13 nec prohibebit bonum ab his qui ambulant in perfectione
Domine exercituum beatus homo qui confidet in te
A Song or Psalm of Asaph.
1 Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.
4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
5 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:
6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;
7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;
8 Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.
9 Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
10 Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.
11 Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
12 Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.
13 O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.
14 As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;
15 So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.
16 Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD.
17 Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:
18 That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.
