¹ A Song; a Psalm of the sons of Korah. Great is Yahweh, 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 has made himself known in her palaces for a refuge.⁴ For, look, the kings assembled themselves, They passed by together.⁵ They saw it, then they were amazed; They were dismayed, they hurried away.⁶ Trembling took hold of them there, Pain, as of a woman in travail.⁷ With the east wind You break the ships of Tarshish.

⁸ As we have heard, so we have seen In the city of Yahweh of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it forever. Selah.⁹ We have thought on your loving-kindness, O God, In the midst of your temple.¹⁰ As is 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 be glad, Let the daughters of Judah rejoice, Because of your judgments.¹² Walk about Zion, and go round about her; Number the towers thereof;¹³ Mark well her bulwarks; Consider her palaces: That you may tell it to the generation following.¹⁴ For this God is our God forever and ever: He will be our guide [even] to death.
