The City of Our God

^1 (C1)Great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised,
In the ^(C2)city of our God, His ^(C3)holy mountain.

^2 (C1)Beautiful in elevation, ^(C2)the joy of the whole earth,
Is Mount Zion in the far north,
The ^(C3)city of the great King.

³ God, in her palaces,
Has made Himself known as a ^(C1)stronghold.

⁴ For, behold, the ^(C1)kings assembled themselves,
They passed by together.

⁵ They saw it, then they were astonished;
They were ^(C1)dismayed, they ^(F1)fled in alarm.

^6 (F1)Panic seized them there,
Anguish, as of ^(C1)a woman in childbirth.

⁷ With the ^(C1)east wind
You ^(C2)break the ^(C3)ships of Tarshish.

⁸ As we have heard, so have we seen
In the city of Yahweh of hosts, in the city of our God;
God will ^(C1)establish her forever. ^Selah may mean Pause, Crescendo, Musical Interlude">(F1)Selah.

⁹ We have thought on ^(C1)Your lovingkindness, O God,
In the midst of Your temple.

¹⁰ As is Your ^(C1)name, O God,
So is Your ^(C2)praise to the ends of the earth;
Your ^(C3)right hand is full of righteousness.

¹¹ Let Mount ^(C1)Zion be glad,
Let the ^(C1)daughters of Judah rejoice
Because of Your judgments.

¹² Walk about Zion and go around her;
Count her ^(C1)towers;

¹³ Consider her ^(C1)ramparts;
Go through her palaces,
That you may ^(C2)recount it to the next generation.

¹⁴ For this is God,
Our God forever and ever;
He will ^(C1)guide us ^(F1)over death.
