For our hearts rejoice in him, for we trust in his holy name.

Yes, ¹  in the sanctuary I have seen you, ²  and witnessed ³  your power and splendor.

They ¹  see your processions, O God – the processions of my God, my king, who marches along in holy splendor. ² 

Hurry and look ¹  at the permanent ruins, and all the damage the enemy has done to the temple! ² 

¹ O God, your deeds are extraordinary! ²  What god can compare to our great God? ³

Once and for all I have vowed by my own holiness, I will never deceive ¹  David.

Worship the Lord in holy attire! ¹  Tremble before him, all the earth!

Boast about his holy name! Let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice!

So I defiled your holy princes, and handed Jacob over to destruction, and subjected ¹  Israel to humiliating abuse.”

For a short time your special ¹  nation possessed a land, ²  but then our adversaries knocked down ³  your holy sanctuary.

The doorposts of the outer sanctuary were square. In front of the sanctuary one doorpost looked just like the other.

But the Lord is in his majestic palace. ¹  The whole earth is speechless in his presence!” ²
