Trust the LORD and his mighty power.
Give honour and praise to the LORD, whose power and beauty fill his holy temple.”
Trust the LORD and his mighty power. Worship him always.
They will tell about your marvellous kingdom and your power.
lift your hands in prayer towards his holy place and praise the LORD.
He let enemies capture the sacred chest and let them dishonour him.
We have seen crowds marching to your place of worship, our God and King.
Wood from Lebanon's best trees will be brought to you— the pines, the firs, and the cypress trees. It will be used in my temple to make beautiful the place where I rest my feet.

Day and night my tears are my only food, as everyone keeps asking, “Where is your God?”
Then I will worship at your altar because you make me joyful. You are my God, and I will praise you. Yes, I will praise you as I play my harp.
I will bless my people with more food than they need, and the priests will enjoy the choice cuts of meat. I, the LORD, have spoken.
