Majestic splendor emanates from him; his sanctuary is firmly established and beautiful.

Then I entered the precincts of God’s temple, and understood the destiny of the wicked.

They set your sanctuary on fire; they desecrate your dwelling place by knocking it to the ground.

He made his sanctuary as enduring as the heavens above; as secure as the earth, which he established permanently.

You are awe-inspiring, O God, as you emerge from your holy temple! It is the God of Israel who gives the people power and strength. God deserves praise!
