[1]Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised, in the city of our God, even upon his holy mountain.
[2]Mount Zion, lying n orthward, is fair in situation: it is the joy of the whole earth , and the city of the great King.
[3]In the palaces thereof God is known for a refuge.
[4]For lo, the kings were gathered, and went together.
[5]When they saw it, they marveled: they were astonied, and suddenly driven back.
[6]Fear came there upon them, and sorrow, as upon a woman in travail.
[7]As with an east wind thou breakest the ships of Tarshish , so were they destroyed.
[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 wait for thy loving kindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple.
[10]O God, according unto thy name, so is thy praise unto the worlds end: thy right hand is full of righteousness.
[11]Let mount Zion rejoice, and the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments.
[12]Compass about Zion, and go round about it, and tell the towers thereof.
[13]Mark well the wall thereof: behold her towers, that ye may tell your posterity.
[14]For this God is our God forever and ever: he shall be our guide unto the death.
