¹ A Song; a Psalm of the sons of Korah.² Great is the LORD, and highly to be praised, in the city of our God, His holy mountain,³ Fair in situation, the joy of the whole earth; ⁴ God in her palaces hath made Himself known for a stronghold.⁵ For, lo, the kings assembled themselves, they came onward together.⁶ They saw, straightway they were amazed; they were affrighted, they hasted away.⁷ Trembling took hold of them there, pangs, as of a woman in travail.

⁸ With the east wind Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish.⁹ As we have heard, so have we seen {N}God establish it for ever. Selah¹⁰ We have thought on Thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of Thy temple.¹¹ As is Thy name, O God, so is Thy praise unto the ends of the earth; ¹² Let mount Zion be glad, let the daughters of Judah rejoice, because of Thy judgments.¹³ Walk about Zion, and go round about her; count the towers thereof.¹⁴ Mark ye well her ramparts, traverse her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following.

¹⁵ For such is God, our God, for ever and ever; He will guide us eternally.
