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

^(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.

In its palaces, God has made Himself known as a ^(C1)stronghold.

For, behold, the ^(C1)kings arrived, They passed by together.

They saw it, then they were amazed; They were ^(C1)terrified, they fled in a hurry.

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

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

Just as we have heard, so have we seen In the city of the LORD of armies, in the city of our God; God will ^(C1)establish her forever. Selah

We have thought over ^(C1)Your goodness, God, In the midst of Your temple.

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

Mount ^(C1)Zion shall be glad, The ^(C1)daughters of Judah shall rejoice Because of Your judgments.

Walk around Zion and encircle her; Count her ^(C1)towers;

Consider her ^(C1)ramparts; Go through her palaces, So that you may ^(C2)tell of her to the next generation.

For ^(F1)such is God, Our God forever and ever; He will ^(C1)lead us ^(F2)until death.
