1A Song. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.
2Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised, in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.
3Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion, on the north sides, the city of the great King.
4God has shown himself in her citadels as a refuge.
5For, behold, the kings assembled themselves, they passed by together.
6They saw it, then they were amazed. They were dismayed. They hurried away.
7Trembling took hold of them there, pain, as of a woman in travail.
8With the east wind, you break the ships of Tarshish.
9As we have heard, so we have seen, in the city of the LORD of Armies, in the city of our God. God will establish it forever. Selah.
10We have thought about your loving kindness, God, in the middle of your temple.
11As is your name, God, so is your praise to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is full of righteousness.
12Let Mount Zion be glad! Let the daughters of Judah rejoice because of your judgments.
13Walk about Zion, and go around her. Number its towers.
14Notice her bulwarks. Consider her palaces, that you may tell it to the next generation.
15For this God is our God forever and ever. He will be our guide even to death.
