- 1The LORD is great and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, on his holy mountain.
- 2Beautiful in its elevation, 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 as a refuge.
- 4For look, the kings assembled; they passed by together.
- 5They saw it, and so they marveled; they were troubled and hurried away.
- 6Fear took hold of them there, and pain like a woman in labor.
- 7You break the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.
- 8As we have heard, so we have seen in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God — God will establish it forever. Selah.
- 9We have thought on your lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of your temple.
- 10As your name is, O God, so is your praise to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is full of righteousness.
- 11Let Mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of your judgments.
- 12Walk about Zion and go all around her. Count her towers.
- 13Mark well her bulwarks; consider her palaces, so that you may tell it to the generation following.
- 14For this God is our God forever and ever. He will be our guide even to death.
