A Song or a 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.
02 Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole
earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north,
the city of the great King.
03 God is known in her palaces for a refuge.
04 For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed
by together.
05 They saw it, and so they marvelled; they were
troubled, and hasted away.
06 Fear took hold upon them there, and pain, as
of a woman in travail.
07 Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an
east wind.
08 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.

09 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.
