The Lord will reign forever,
Your God, O Zion, to all generations.
Praise the Lord!

Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem!
Praise your God, O Zion!

Let Israel be glad in his Maker;
Let the sons of Zion rejoice in their King.

“But as for Me, I have installed My King
Upon Zion, My holy mountain.”

Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Zion;
Declare among the peoples His deeds.

That I may tell of all Your praises,
That in the gates of the daughter of Zion
I may rejoice in Your salvation.

Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion!
When the Lord restores His captive people,
Jacob will rejoice, Israel will be glad.

May He send you help from the sanctuary
And support you from Zion!

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

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

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

Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty,
God has shone forth.

By Your favor do good to Zion;
Build the walls of Jerusalem.

Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion!
When God restores His captive people,
Let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.

For the choir director. A Psalm of David. A Song.
There will be silence before You, and praise in Zion, O God,
And to You the vow will be performed.

For God will save Zion and build the cities of Judah,
That they may dwell there and possess it.

Remember Your congregation, which You have purchased of old,
Which You have redeemed to be the tribe of Your inheritance;
And this Mount Zion, where You have dwelt.

His tabernacle is in Salem;
His dwelling place also is in Zion.

But chose the tribe of Judah,
Mount Zion which He loved.

How blessed is the man whose strength is in You,
In whose heart are the highways to Zion!

They go from strength to strength,
Every one of them appears before God in Zion.

The Lord loves the gates of Zion
More than all the other dwelling places of Jacob.

But of Zion it shall be said, “This one and that one were born in her”;
And the Most High Himself will establish her.

Zion heard this and was glad,
And the daughters of Judah have rejoiced
Because of Your judgments, O Lord.

The Lord is great in Zion,
And He is exalted above all the peoples.

You will arise and have compassion on Zion;
For it is time to be gracious to her,
For the appointed time has come.

For the Lord has built up Zion;
He has appeared in His glory.

That men may tell of the name of the Lord in Zion
And His praise in Jerusalem,

The Lord will stretch forth Your strong scepter from Zion, saying,
“Rule in the midst of Your enemies.”

A Song of Ascents.
Those who trust in the Lord
Are as Mount Zion, which cannot be moved but abides forever.

A Song of Ascents.
When the Lord brought back the captive ones of Zion,
We were like those who dream.

The Lord bless you from Zion,
And may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life.

May all who hate Zion
Be put to shame and turned backward;

For the Lord has chosen Zion;
He has desired it for His habitation.

It is like the dew of Hermon
Coming down upon the mountains of Zion;
For there the Lord commanded the blessing—life forever.

May the Lord bless you from Zion,
He who made heaven and earth.

Blessed be the Lord from Zion,
Who dwells in Jerusalem.
Praise the Lord!

By the rivers of Babylon,
There we sat down and wept,
When we remembered Zion.

For there our captors demanded of us songs,
And our tormentors mirth, saying,
“Sing us one of the songs of Zion.”
