- [A song,
the psalme of the children of Corach.]
- 1
- Great is God, and hyghly to be praysed: in the citie of our Lorde, his holy hyll.
- 2
- The hyll of Sion is fayre in situation, and the ioy of the whole earth: vpon the north syde lyeth the citie of the great king.
- 3
- God is well knowen in her palaces: as a most sure refuge.
- 4
- For lo kinges did assemble, and passe by together:
- 5
- they them selues sawe it, lykewyse they marueyled, they were astonyed with feare, and sodenly in haste they were gone away.
- 6
- A feare came there vpon them and sorowe: as vpon a woman in her childe trauayle.
- 7
- Thou didst breake the shippes of the sea: through the east wynde.
- 8
- Lyke as we haue hearde, so haue we seene in the citie of God of hoastes: in the citie of our Lorde, God vpholdeth the same for euer.
Selah.
- 9
- O Lorde we haue wayted: for thy louyng kindnesse in the myddest of thy temple.
- 10
- O Lorde, accordyng to thy name, so is thy prayse vnto the worldes ende: thy ryght hande is full of iustice.
- 11
- Mount Sion shall reioyce, and the daughters of Iuda shalbe glad: because of thy iudgementes.
- 12
- Compasse about Sion, and go rounde about her: and tell the towres therof.
- 13
- Marke well her bulwarkes, beholde her hygh palaces: that ye may tell it to your posteritie.
- 14
- For this God is our God for euer and euer: he wyll be our guide vnto death.
