| 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. |
