¹ A song or Psalme committed to the sonnes of Korah. Great is the Lorde, and greatly to be praysed, in the Citie of our God, euen vpon his holy Mountaine.² Mount Zion, lying Northwarde, is faire in situation: it is the ioy of the whole earth, and the Citie of the great King.³ In the palaces thereof God is knowen for a refuge.⁴ For lo, the Kings were gathered, and went together.⁵ When they sawe it, they marueiled: they were astonied, and suddenly driuen backe.⁶ Feare came there vpon them, and sorowe, as vpon a woman in trauaile.⁷ As with an East winde thou breakest the shippes of Tarshish, so were they destroyed.

⁸ As we haue heard, so haue we seene in the citie of the Lord of hostes, in the Citie of our God: God will stablish it for euer. Selah.⁹ We waite for thy louing kindnes, O God, in the middes of thy Temple.¹⁰ O God, according vnto thy Name, so is thy prayse vnto the worlds end: thy right hand is full of righteousnes.¹¹ Let mount Zion reioyce, and the daughters of Iudah be glad, because of thy iudgements.¹² Compasse about Zion, and goe round about it, and tell the towres thereof.¹³ Marke well the wall thereof: beholde her towres, that ye may tell your posteritie.¹⁴ For this God is our God for euer and euer: he shall be our guide vnto the death.
