| 1 ¶ A Song and Psalm for1 the sons of Korah. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness.
|
|
| 2 Beautiful for situation, 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 palaces for a refuge.
|
|
| 4 For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together.
|
|
| 5 They saw it, and so they marvelled; they were troubled, and hasted away.
|
|
| 6 Fear took hold upon them there, and pain, as of a woman in travail.
|
|
| 7 Thou breakest 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 for ever. Selah.
|
|
| 9 We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple.
|
|
| 10 According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.
|
|
| 11 Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments.
|
|
| 12 Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers thereof.
|
|
| 13 Mark2 ye well her bulwarks, consider3 her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following.
|
|
| 14 For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.
