To the Chief Musician. For the sons of Korah. A Song "For the Virgins". God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

Our God comes, and He is not silent; a fire shall devour before Him, and it shall be very stormy all around Him.

And Your righteousness, O God, is very high, who have done great things. O God, who is like You,

O do not remember against us our former sins; let Your tender mercies meet us quickly; for we are brought very low.

O Jehovah, how great are Your works; Your purposes are very deep.

Your testimonies are very sure; holiness becomes Your house forever, O Jehovah.

Bless Jehovah, O my soul. O Jehovah my God, You are very great; You have put on honor and majesty,

when they were a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.

I am afflicted very much; O Jehovah, give me life according to Your Word.

Your Word is very pure; therefore Your servant loves it.

My soul has kept Your testimonies; and I love them very much.

I will praise You; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are marvelous and my soul knows it very well.

Hear my cry; for I am brought very low; deliver me from my pursuers; for they are stronger than I.

His breath goes forth; he returns to the earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.

He sends forth His Commandment on earth; His Word runs very swiftly.
