Before the decree takes effect—
The day passes like the chaff—
Before the burning anger of the Lord comes upon you,
Before the day of the Lord’s anger comes upon you.

His strength

“Now therefore arise, O Lord God, to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your might; let Your priests, O Lord God, be clothed with salvation and let Your godly ones rejoice in what is good.

O God, You are awesome from Your sanctuary.

The God of Israel Himself gives strength and power to the people.

Blessed be God!

And gave up His strength to captivity
And His glory into the hand of the adversary.

Seek his

Many are saying, “Who will show us any good?”

Lift up the light of Your countenance upon us, O Lord!

When You said, “Seek My face,” my heart said to You,
“Your face, O Lord, I shall seek.”

For the choir director; with stringed instruments. A Psalm. A Song.
God be gracious to us and bless us,
And cause His face to shine upon us—

Selah.
