| 1 | A Canticle Psalm. To the sons of Korah, on the second Sabbath. |
| 2 | The Lord is great and exceedingly praiseworthy, in the city of our God, on his holy mountain. |
| 3 | Mount Zion is being founded with the exultation of the whole earth, on the north side, the city of the great king. |
| 4 | In her houses, God will be known, since he will support her. |
| 5 | For behold, the kings of the earth have been gathered together; they have convened as one. |
| 6 | Such did they see, and they were astonished: they were disturbed, they were moved. |
| 7 | Trembling took hold of them. In that place, their pains were that of a woman in labor. |
| 8 | With a vehement spirit, you will crush the ships of Tarshish. |
| 9 | As we have heard, so we have seen, in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God. God has founded it in eternity. |
| 10 | We have received your mercy, O God, in the midst of your temple. |
| 11 | According to your name, O God, so does your praise reach to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is full of justice. |
| 12 | Let mount Zion rejoice, and let the daughters of Judah exult, because of your judgments, O Lord. |
| 13 | Encircle Zion and embrace her. Discourse in her towers. |
| 14 | Set your hearts on her virtue. And distribute her houses, so that you may discourse of it in another generation. |
| 15 | For this is God, our God, in eternity and forever and ever. He will rule us forever. |
