^1 (a)Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised,
In the ^(b)city of our God, His ^(c)holy mountain.
^2 (d)Beautiful in elevation, ^(e)the joy of the whole earth,
Is Mount Zion in the far north,
The ^(f)city of the great King.
³ God, in her palaces,
Has made Himself known as a ^(g)stronghold.

⁴ For, lo, the ^(h)kings assembled themselves,
They passed by together.
⁵ They saw it, then they were amazed;
They were ⁽ⁱ⁾terrified, they ^[a]fled in alarm.
^6 [b]Panic seized them there,
Anguish, as of ^(j)a woman in childbirth.
⁷ With the ^(k)east wind
You ^(l)break the ^(m)ships of Tarshish.
⁸ As we have heard, so have we seen
In the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God;
God will ⁽ⁿ⁾establish her forever. ^[c]Selah.

⁹ We have thought on ^(o)Your lovingkindness, O God,
In the midst of Your temple.
¹⁰ As is Your ^(p)name, O God,
So is Your ^(q)praise to the ends of the earth;
Your ^(r)right hand is full of righteousness.
¹¹ Let Mount ^(s)Zion be glad,
Let the ^(t)daughters of Judah rejoice
Because of Your judgments.
¹² Walk about Zion and go around her;
Count her ^(u)towers;
¹³ Consider her ^(v)ramparts;
Go through her palaces,
That you may ^(w)tell it to the next generation.
¹⁴ For ^[d]such is God,
Our God forever and ever;
He will ^(x)guide us ^[e]until death.
