O children of Abraham, God's servant, you descendants of Jacob, God's chosen ones!

I thirst for God, for the living God. I say, "When will I be able to go and appear in God's presence?"

We heard about God's mighty deeds, now we have seen them, in the city of the Lord, the invincible Warrior, in the city of our God. God makes it permanently secure. (Selah)

But I am like a flourishing olive tree in the house of God; I continually trust in God's loyal love.

For the music director; by David; written to get God's attention. O God, please be willing to rescue me! O Lord, hurry and help me!

As for God's chosen people who are in the land, and the leading officials I admired so much --

Indeed, with your help I can charge against an army; by my God's power I can jump over a wall.

A psalm of David, written to get God's attention. O Lord, do not continue to rebuke me in your anger! Do not continue to punish me in your raging fury!

For the music director; a well-written song by David. It was written when Doeg the Edomite went and informed Saul: "David has arrived at the home of Ahimelech." Why do you boast about your evil plans, O powerful man? God's loyal love protects me all day long!

We would share personal thoughts with each other; in God's temple we would walk together among the crowd.

By God's power we will conquer; he will trample down our enemies.
