Which You have prepared for those who take refuge in You,

[fn]Before the sons of man!

To dwell in Your courts.

We will be filled with the goodness of Your house,

Your holy temple.

Teach me good judgment (discernment) and knowledge,

For I have believed and trusted and relied on Your commandments.

And may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life;

And when the wicked perish, there are shouts of joy.

You shall eat the best of the land;

I will tell of the lovingkindnesses of the LORD, and the praiseworthy deeds of the LORD,

Which He has shown them according to His compassion

And according to the abundance of His lovingkindnesses.

Grain and new wine will make the young men and virgins flourish.
