Lord God of Hosts, hear my prayer;
listen, God of Jacob.Selah

The Lord loves the gates of Zion
more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

They say, “The Lord doesn’t see it.
The God of Jacob doesn’t pay attention.”

The mighty King loves justice.
You have established fairness;
You have administered justice
and righteousness in Jacob.

and confirmed to Jacob as a decree
and to Israel as an everlasting covenant:

Then Israel went to Egypt;
Jacob lived as a foreigner in the land of Ham.

When Israel came out of Egypt—
the house of Jacob from a people
who spoke a foreign language—

Tremble, earth, at the presence of the Lord,
at the presence of the God of Jacob,

and how he swore an oath to the Lord,
making a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:

until I find a place for the Lord,
a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

For Yahweh has chosen Jacob for Himself,
Israel as His treasured possession.

Happy is the one whose help is the God of Jacob,
whose hope is in the Lord his God,

He declares His word to Jacob,
His statutes and judgments to Israel.
