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
.
Beautiful for situation
, the joy
of the whole earth
, is mount
Zion
, on the sides
of the north
, the city
of the great
King
.
God is known
in her palaces
for a refuge
.
For, lo, the kings were assembled
, they passed by
together
.
They saw it, and so they marvelled
; they were troubled
, and hasted away
.
Fear took hold
upon them there, and pain
, as of a woman in travail
.
Thou breakest the ships
of Tarshish
with an east
wind
.
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
.
We have thought of thy lovingkindness
, O God
, in the midst
of thy temple
.
According to thy name, O God
, so is thy praise
unto the ends
of the earth
: thy right hand
is full
of righteousness
.
Let mount Zion
rejoice
, let the daughters
of Judah
be glad
, because of thy judgments
.
Walk about Zion
, and go round about
her: tell
the towers
thereof.
Mark ye well
her bulwarks
, consider
her palaces
; that ye may tell
it to the generation
following
.
For this God is our God
for ever
and ever
: he will be our guide
even unto death
.
