✧A Song; a Psalm of the sons of Korah. Great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised, In the city of our God, in his holy mountain. ✧2Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, Is mount Zion, [on] the sides of the north, The city of the great King. ✧3God hath made himself known in her palaces for a refuge. ✧4For, lo, the kings assembled themselves, They passed by together. ✧5They saw it, then were they amazed; They were dismayed, they hasted away. ✧6Trembling took hold of them there, Pain, as of a woman in travail. ✧7With the east wind Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish. ✧8As we have heard, so have we seen In the city of Jehovah of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. [Selah ✧9We have thought on thy lovingkindness, O God, In the midst of thy temple. ✧10As is thy name, O God, So is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: Thy right hand is full of righteousness. ✧11Let mount Zion be glad, Let the daughters of Judah rejoice, Because of thy judgments. ✧12Walk about Zion, and go round about her; Number the towers thereof; ✧13Mark ye well her bulwarks; Consider her palaces: That ye may tell it to the generation following. ✧14For this God is our God for ever and ever: He will be our guide [even] unto death.
