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.

For such is God,
Our God forever and ever;
He will guide us until death.

Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth,
Is Mount Zion in the far north,
The city of the great King.

We have thought on Your lovingkindness, O God,
In the midst of Your temple.

Walk about Zion and go around her;
Count her towers;

As is Your name, O God,
So is Your praise to the ends of the earth;
Your right hand is full of righteousness.

God, in her palaces,
Has made Himself known as a stronghold.

With the east wind
You break the ships of Tarshish.

For, lo, the kings assembled themselves,
They passed by together.

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 her forever. Selah.

Panic seized them there,
Anguish, as of a woman in childbirth.

Consider her ramparts;
Go through her palaces,
That you may tell it to the next generation.

Let Mount Zion be glad,
Let the daughters of Judah rejoice
Because of Your judgments.

They saw it, then they were amazed;
They were terrified, they fled in alarm.
