¹ A song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, His holy mountain.

² Beautiful in loftiness, the joy of all the earth, like the peaks of Zaphon is Mount Zion, the city of the great King.

³ God is in her citadels; He has shown Himself to be a fortress.

⁴ For behold, the kings assembled; they all advanced together.

⁵ They saw and were astounded; they fled in terror.

⁶ Trembling seized them there, anguish like a woman in labor.

⁷ With a wind from the east You wrecked the ships of Tarshish.

⁸ As we have heard, so we have seen in the city of the LORD of Hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish her forever. Selah

⁹ Within Your temple, O God, we contemplate Your loving devotion.

¹⁰ Your name, O God, like Your praise, reaches to the ends of the earth; Your right hand is full of righteousness.

¹¹ Mount Zion is glad, the daughters of Judah rejoice, on account of Your judgments.

¹² March around Zion, encircle her, count her towers,

¹³ consider her ramparts, tour her citadels, that you may tell the next generation.

¹⁴ For this God is our God forever and ever; He will be our guide even till death.
