In peace [and with a tranquil heart] I will both lie down and sleep,
For You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety and confident trust.

For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness;
No evil [person] dwells with You.

I will give thanks and praise the Lord, with all my heart;
I will tell aloud all Your wonders and marvelous deeds.

That I may tell aloud all Your praises,
That in the gates of the daughter of Zion (Jerusalem)
I may rejoice in Your salvation and Your help.

O Lord, who may lodge [as a guest] in Your tent?
Who may dwell [continually] on Your holy hill?

Therefore my heart is glad and my glory [my innermost self] rejoices;
My body too will dwell [confidently] in safety,

I pursued my enemies and overtook them;
And I did not turn back until they were consumed.

But You are holy,
O You who are enthroned in [the holy place where] the praises of Israel [are offered].

Posterity will serve Him;
They will tell of the Lord to the next generation.

The earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness of it,
The world, and those who dwell in it.

Indeed, none of those who [expectantly] wait for You will be ashamed;
Those who turn away from what is right and deal treacherously without cause will be ashamed (humiliated, embarrassed).

His soul will dwell in prosperity and goodness,
And his descendants will inherit the land.

That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving
And declare all Your wonders.

One thing I have asked of the Lord, and that I will seek:
That I may dwell in the house of the Lord [in His presence] all the days of my life,
To gaze upon the beauty [the delightful loveliness and majestic grandeur] of the Lord
And to meditate in His temple.

I acknowledged my sin to You,
And I did not hide my wickedness;
I said, “I will confess [all] my transgressions to the Lord”;
And You forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah.

Trust [rely on and have confidence] in the Lord and do good;
Dwell in the land and feed [securely] on His faithfulness.

The wicked borrows and does not pay back,
But the righteous is gracious and kind and gives.

All day long he is gracious and lends,
And his descendants are a blessing.

Depart from evil and do good;
And you will dwell [securely in the land] forever.

The righteous will inherit the land
And live in it forever.

Consider her ramparts,
Go through her palaces,
That you may tell the next generation [about her glory].

“If I were hungry, I would not tell you,
For the world and all it contains are Mine.

No, in your heart you devise wrongdoing;
On earth you deal out the violence of your hands.

Let me dwell in Your tent forever;
Let me take refuge in the shelter of Your wings. Selah.

Blessed is the one whom You choose and bring near
To dwell in Your courts.
We will be filled with the goodness of Your house,
Your holy temple.

So they who dwell at the ends of the earth stand in awe of Your signs [the evidence of Your presence].
You make the dawn and the sunset shout for joy.

God makes a home for the lonely;
He leads the prisoners into prosperity,
Only the stubborn and rebellious dwell in a parched land.

Why do you look with envy, mountains with many peaks,
At the mountain [of the city of Zion] which God has desired for His dwelling place?
Yes, the Lord will dwell there forever.

You have ascended on high, You have led away captive Your captives;
You have received gifts among men,
Even from the rebellious also, that the Lord God may dwell there.

May their encampment be desolate;
May no one dwell in their tents.

For God will save Zion and rebuild the cities of Judah,
That His servants may remain there and possess it.

The descendants of His servants will inherit it,
And those who love His name will dwell in it.

Be to me a rock of refuge and a sheltering stronghold to which I may continually come;
You have given the commandment to save me,
For You are my rock and my fortress.

My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness
And of Your [deeds of] salvation all day long,
For their number is more than I know.

In his days may the righteous flourish,
And peace abound until the moon is no more.

The nomads of the desert will bow before him,
And his enemies will lick the dust.

But as for me, it is good for me to draw near to God;
I have made the Lord God my refuge and placed my trust in Him,
That I may tell of all Your works.

“I said to the arrogant, ‘Do not boast;’
And to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up the horn [of self-glorification].

We will not hide them from their children,
But [we will] tell to the generation to come the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord,
And [tell of] His great might and power and the wonderful works that He has done.

He also drove out the nations before the sons of Israel
And allotted their land as an inheritance, measured out and partitioned;
And He had the tribes of Israel dwell in their tents [the tents of those who had been dispossessed].

Blessed and greatly favored are those who dwell in Your house and Your presence;
They will be singing Your praises all the day long. Selah.

For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand [anywhere else];
I would rather stand [as a doorkeeper] at the threshold of the house of my God
Than to live [at ease] in the tents of wickedness.

For all our days pass away in Your wrath;
We have finished our years like a whispered sigh.

Let the sea thunder and roar, and all the things it contains,
The world and those who dwell in it.

My eyes will be on the faithful (honorable) of the land, that they may dwell with me;
He who walks blamelessly is the one who will minister to and serve me.

He who practices deceit will not dwell in my house;
He who tells lies and half-truths will not continue [to remain] in my presence.

“The children of Your servants will continue,
And their descendants will be established before You.”

He turned the heart [of the Egyptians] to hate His people,
To deal craftily with His servants.

Who can put into words the mighty deeds of the Lord?
Or who can proclaim all His praise [that is due Him]?

A productive land into a [barren] salt waste,
Because of the wickedness of those who dwell in it.

And there He has the hungry dwell,
So that they may establish an inhabited city,

But You, O God, the Lord, show kindness to me, for Your name’s sake;
Because Your lovingkindness (faithfulness, compassion) is good, O rescue me;

Gimel.
Deal bountifully with Your servant,
That I may live and keep Your word [treasuring it and being guided by it day by day].

Their heart is insensitive like fat [their minds are dull and brutal],
But I delight in Your law.

Deal with Your servant according to Your [gracious] lovingkindness,
And teach me Your statutes.

Woe to me, for I sojourn in Meshech,
and I live among the tents of Kedar [among hostile people]!

It is vain for you to rise early,
To retire late,
To eat the bread of anxious labors—
For He gives [blessings] to His beloved even in his sleep.

“This is My resting place forever” [says the Lord];
“Here will I dwell, for I have desired it.

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
For brothers to dwell together in unity!

For the Lord will judge His people
And He will have compassion on His servants [revealing His mercy].

If I take the wings of the dawn,
If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea,

Surely the righteous will give thanks to Your name;
The upright will dwell in Your presence.

I pour out my complaint before Him;
I declare my trouble before Him.

“Bring my soul out of prison (adversity),
So that I may give thanks and praise Your name;
The righteous will surround me [in triumph],
For You will look after me.”

For the enemy has persecuted me,
He has crushed my life down to the ground;
He has made me dwell in dark places, like those who have been long dead.
