My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear of it and be glad.

For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.

The king's daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold.

She shall be brought to the king in raiment of needle-work: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought to thee.

God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.

God is known in her palaces for a refuge.

Walk about Zion, and go round her: number her towers.

Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following.

Wickedness is in the midst of it: deceit and guile depart not from her streets.

Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;

Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, will bless us.

Though ye have lain among the pots, yet shall ye be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold.

Princes shall come out of Egypt; Cush shall soon stretch out her hands to God.

Let not the water-flood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.

She sent out her boughs to the sea, and her branches to the river.

Why hast thou then broke down her hedges, so that all they who pass by the way do pluck her?

Yes, the sparrow hath found a house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thy altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.

Yes, the LORD will give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase.

And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the Highest himself shall establish her.

Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favor her, yes, the set time, is come.

For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favor the dust thereof.

He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;

Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir-trees are her house.

The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.

Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden to the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until he shall have mercy upon us.

This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.

I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.

I will also clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.

If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her skill.
