[1] Great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised, In the city of our God, in his holy mountain.
[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 hath made himself known in her palaces for a refuge.
[4] For, lo, the kings assembled themselves, They passed by together.
[5] They saw it, then were they amazed; They were dismayed, they hasted away.
[6] Trembling took hold of them there, Pain, as of a woman in travail.
[7] With the east wind Thou breakest 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 will establish it for ever. [Selah
[9] We have thought on thy lovingkindness, O God, In the midst of thy temple.
[10] As is 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 be glad, Let the daughters of Judah rejoice, Because of thy judgments.
[12] Walk about Zion, and go round about her; Number 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.
