The situation and glory of Zion. (A Song and Psalm for the sons of Korah.)

¹⁾Great is the LORDLord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness.

²⁾Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.

³⁾God is known in her palaces for a refuge.

⁴⁾For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together.

⁵⁾They saw it, and so they marvelledmarveled; they were troubled, and hasted away.

⁶⁾Fear took hold upon them there, and pain, as of a woman in travail.

⁷⁾Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.

⁸⁾As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORDLord of hosts, in the city of our God:; God will establish it for everforever. Selah.

⁹⁾We have thought of thy lovingkindnessloving-kindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple.

¹⁰⁾According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth:; thy right hand is full of righteousness.

¹¹⁾Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments.

¹²⁾Walk about Zion, and go round about her:; tell the towers thereof.

¹³⁾Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following.

¹⁴⁾For this God is our God for everforever and ever:; he will be our guide even unto death.
