¹ Great is the LORD, 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 is in her palaces; He is known as her refuge. ⁴ For behold, the kings assembled, They passed by together. ⁵ They saw it, and so they marveled; They were troubled, they hastened away. ⁶ Fear took hold of them there, And pain, as of a woman in birth pangs, ⁷ As when You break the ships of Tarshish With an east wind.

⁸ As we have heard, So we have seen In the city of the LORD of hosts, In the city of our God: God will establish it forever.Selah ⁹ We have thought, O God, on Your lovingkindness, In the midst of Your temple. ¹⁰ According to Your name, O God, So is Your praise to the ends of the earth; Your right hand is full of righteousness. ¹¹ Let Mount Zion rejoice, Let the daughters of Judah be glad, Because of Your judgments. ¹² Walk about Zion, And go all around her. Count her towers; ¹³ Mark well her bulwarks; Consider her palaces; That you may tell it to the generation following. ¹⁴ 14 For this is God,Our God forever and ever;He will be our guideEven to death.
