I am dazed and completely humiliated; all day long I walk around mourning.

A song, a psalm by the Korahites. The Lord is great and certainly worthy of praise in the city of our God, his holy hill.

Our God approaches and is not silent; consuming fire goes ahead of him and all around him a storm rages.

Do not hold us accountable for the sins of earlier generations! Quickly send your compassion our way, for we are in serious trouble!

The rules you set down are completely reliable. Holiness aptly adorns your house, O Lord, forever.

For the Lord is great and certainly worthy of praise; he is more awesome than all gods.

For you, O Lord, are the sovereign king over the whole earth; you are elevated high above all gods.

Praise the Lord, O my soul! O Lord my God, you are magnificent. You are robed in splendor and majesty.

Praise the Lord! How blessed is the one who obeys the Lord, who takes great delight in keeping his commands.

Do not completely deprive me of a truthful testimony, for I await your justice.

I will give you thanks because your deeds are awesome and amazing. You knew me thoroughly;

Listen to my cry for help, for I am in serious trouble! Rescue me from those who chase me, for they are stronger than I am.

Because of all my enemies, people disdain me; my neighbors are appalled by my suffering – those who know me are horrified by my condition; those who see me in the street run away from me.

For the music director; by the Korahites; according to the alamoth style; a song. God is our strong refuge; he is truly our helper in times of trouble.

The nobles of the nations assemble, along with the people of the God of Abraham, for God has authority over the rulers of the earth. He is highly exalted!
