[1] Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in His holy mountain. [2] Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King. [3] God is known in her citadels as a refuge. [4] For the kings were assembled, they passed by together. [5] They saw it, and so they were astounded; they were alarmed, they hurried away. [6] Trembling seized them there, and pain like a woman in labor; [7] You break the ships of Tarshish with an east wind. [8] As 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 forever. Selah [9] We have thought of Your lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of Your temple. [10] According to Your name, O God, so is Your praise to the ends of the earth; Your right hand is full of righteousness. [11] May Mount Zion rejoice, may the daughters of Judah be glad, because of Your judgments. [12] Walk about Zion, and go round about her; count her towers; [13] mark well her bulwarks; consider her citadels; that you may tell it to the generation following. [14] For this God is our God forever and ever; He will be our guide even to death.
