Let us go to his dwelling place! Let us worship before his footstool!

Where can I go to escape your spirit? Where can I flee to escape your presence?

The wicked turn aside from birth; liars go astray as soon as they are born.

But you rejected and embarrassed us! You did not go into battle with our armies.

Men then go out to do their work, and labor away until evening.

Have you not rejected us, O God? O God, you do not go into battle with our armies.

Have you not rejected us, O God? O God, you do not go into battle with our armies.

A song of ascents, by David. I was glad because they said to me, “We will go to the Lord’s temple.”

I will not break my covenant or go back on what I promised.

For my days go up in smoke, and my bones are charred like a fireplace.

Who is allowed to ascend the mountain of the Lord? Who may go up to his holy dwelling place?

May death destroy them! May they go down alive into Sheol! For evil is in their dwelling place and in their midst.

The tribes go up there, the tribes of the Lord, where it is required that Israel give thanks to the name of the Lord.

May I hear about your loyal love in the morning, for I trust in you. Show me the way I should go, because I long for you.

O Lord, do not let me be humiliated, for I call out to you! May evil men be humiliated! May they go wailing to the grave!

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