Because of your name, O Lord, let me have forgiveness for my sin, which is very great.

God is our harbour and our strength, a very present help in trouble.

Those who have hate for me without cause are greater in number than the hairs of my head; those who are against me, falsely desiring my destruction, are very strong; I gave back what I had not taken away.

Your righteousness, O God, is very high; you have done great things; O God, who is like you?

When this came to God's ears he was very angry, and gave up Israel completely;

Give praise to the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, you are very great; you are robed with honour and power.

I have seen that nothing on earth is complete; but your teaching is very wide.

Give ear to my cry, for I am made very low: take me out of the hands of my haters, for they are stronger than I.
