1 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.

- 3 God, in her palaces, Has made Himself known as a stronghold.
- 4 For, lo, the kings assembled themselves, They passed by together.
- 5 They saw it, then they were amazed; They were terrified, they fled in alarm.
- 6 Panic seized them there, Anguish, as of a woman in childbirth.
- 7 With the east wind You break the ships of Tarshish.
- 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 her forever. Selah.

- 11 Let Mount Zion be glad, Let the daughters of Judah rejoice Because of Your judgments.
- 12 Walk about Zion and go around her; Count her towers;
- 13 Consider her ramparts; Go through her palaces, That you may tell it to the next generation.
- 14 For such is God, Our God forever and ever; He will guide us until death.
