✧A Song [and] Psalm for the sons of Korah. Great [is] the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, [in] the mountain of his holiness. ✧2Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, [is] mount Zion, [on] the sides of the north, the city of the great King. ✧3God is known in her palaces for a refuge. ✧4For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together. ✧5They saw [it, and] so they marvelled; they were troubled, [and] hasted away. ✧6Fear took hold upon them there, [and] pain, as of a woman in travail. ✧7Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind. ✧8As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. Selah. ✧9We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple. ✧10According to thy name, O God, so [is] thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness. ✧11Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments. ✧12Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell 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.
