- 1
- {A Song;
a Psalm. Of the sons of Korah.} Great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the hill of his holiness.
- 2
- Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, [on] the sides of the north, the city of the great King.
- 3
- God is known in her palaces as a high fortress.
- 4
- For behold, the kings assembled themselves, they passed by together;
- 5
- They saw, — so they marvelled;
they were troubled, they fled in consternation:
- 6
- Trembling took hold upon them there;
anguish, as of a woman in travail.
- 7
- With an east wind thou hast broken the ships of Tarshish.
- 8
- As we have heard, so have we seen, in the city of Jehovah of hosts, in the city of our God: God doth establish it for ever.
Selah.
- 9
- We have thought, O God, of thy loving-kindness, in the midst of thy temple.
- 10
- According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.
- 11
- Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments.
- 12
- Walk about Zion, and go round about her: count the towers thereof;
- 13
- Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces: that ye may tell it to the generation following.
- 14
- For this God is our God for ever and ever;
he will be our guide until death.
