- 1
- A Song, a Psalm, by sons of Korah.
Great [is] Jehovah, and praised greatly, In the city of our God — His holy hill.
- 2
- Beautiful [for] elevation, A joy of all the land, [is] Mount Zion, The sides of the north, the city of a great king.
- 3
- God in her high places is known for a tower.
- 4
- For, lo, the kings met, they passed by together,
- 5
- They have seen — so they have marvelled, They have been troubled, they were hastened away.
- 6
- Trembling hath seized them there, Pain, as of a travailing woman.
- 7
- By an east wind Thou shiverest ships of Tarshish.
- 8
- As we have heard, so we have seen, In the city of Jehovah of hosts, In the city of our God, God doth establish her — to the age.
Selah.
- 9
- We have thought, O God, of Thy kindness, In the midst of Thy temple,
- 10
- As [is] Thy name, O God, so [is] Thy praise, Over the ends of the earth, Righteousness hath filled Thy right hand.
- 11
- Rejoice doth Mount Zion, The daughters of Judah are joyful, For the sake of Thy judgments.
- 12
- Compass Zion, and go round her, count her towers,
- 13
- Set your heart to her bulwark, Consider her high places, So that ye recount to a later generation,
- 14
- That this God [is] our God — To the age and for ever, He — he doth lead us over death!
