  Psalms
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  But I have enthroned My king on Zion, My holy mount.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  For when the foundations are destroyed; what has the righteous man done?
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  A psalm; a song of dedication of the House, of David.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  But as for the river-its rivulets shall cause the city of God, the holy place of the dwellings of the Most High, to rejoice.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  A song, a psalm of the sons of Korah. 
  The Lord is great and very much praised, in the city of our God, the Mount of His Sanctuary. 
  The fairest of branches, the joy of the entire earth- Mount Zion, by the north side, the city of a great king. 
  God is in its palaces; He is known as a stronghold.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  From Zion, the finery of beauty, God appeared.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  With Your will, do good to Zion; build the walls of Jerusalem.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Moab is my washbasin; on Edom I will throw my lock; Philistia, join me. 
  Who will bring me to a fortified city?-He Who led me to Edom? 
  Is it not You, O God, Who has forsaken us, and [Who] does not go forth, O God, with our hosts? 
  Give us aid against the adversary, but the salvation of man is futile. 
  Through God we shall gather might, and He will trample our adversaries. (yevus tsareinu)
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Silence is praise to You, O God in Zion, and to You a vow is paid
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  From Your Temple, which is over Jerusalem, kings will bring You tribute.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  May there be an abundance of grain in the land, on the mountain peaks; may its fruit rustle like Lebanon, and they will blossom forth from the city like the grass of the earth.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  His Tabernacle was in Shalem, and His dwelling place in Zion.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  A song of Asaph. O God! Nations have come into Your heritage, they have defiled Your Holy Temple, they have made Jerusalem into heaps.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Glorious things are said about you, the city of God, forever.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  The Lord is great in Zion, and He is high over all the peoples.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  When the Lord has built up Zion, when He has appeared in His glory
  
  
  
  
  That men may declare the name of the Lord in Zion, And His praise in Jerusalem.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  A song of ascents. In my distress I called to the Lord, and He answered me.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Request the welfare of Jerusalem; may those who love you enjoy tranquility.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  A song of ascents. Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which will not falter but will abide forever.
  Jerusalem has mountains around it, and the Lord is around His people from now and to eternity.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  May the Lord bless you from Zion, and see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Until I find a place for the Lord, dwellings for the Mighty One of Jacob.
  Behold we heard it in Ephrath; we found it in the fields of the forest.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  For the Lord has chosen Zion; He desired it for His habitation.
  
  
  
  
  
  As the dew of Hermon which runs down on the mountains of Zion, for there the Lord commanded the blessing, life forever.
  
  
  
  A song of ascents. Behold, bless the Lord, all servants of the Lord who stand in the house of the Lord at night.
  
  May the Lord bless you from Zion, He Who made heaven and earth.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Blessed is the Lord from Zion, He Who dwells in Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat, we also wept when we remembered Zion.
  
  
  
  If I forget you, O Jerusalem, may my right hand forget [its skill].
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  The Lord is the builder of Jerusalem; He will gather the outcasts of Israel.
