| 1 | (A Song and Psalm for the sons of Korah.) Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness. |
| 2 | Beautiful for situation, 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 for a refuge. |
| 4 | For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together. |
| 5 | They saw it, and so they marvelled; they were troubled, and hasted away. |
| 6 | Fear took hold upon them there, and pain, as of a woman in travail. |
| 7 | Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind. |
| 8 | As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. Selah. |
| 9 | We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God, 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: tell 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 even unto death. |
