[1]A Song, a Psalm, by sons of Korah. Great [is] Jehovah, and praised greatly, In the city of our God -- His holy hill.
[2]Beautiful [for] elevation, A joy of all the land, [is] Mount Zion, The sides of the north, the city of a great king.
[3]God in her high places is known for a tower.
[4]For, lo, the kings met, they passed by together,
[5]They have seen -- so they have marvelled, They have been troubled, they were hastened away.
[6]Trembling hath seized them there, Pain, as of a travailing woman.
[7]By an east wind Thou shiverest ships of Tarshish.
[8]As we have heard, so we have seen, In the city of Jehovah of hosts, In the city of our God, God doth establish her -- to the age. Selah.
[9]We have thought, O God, of Thy kindness, In the midst of Thy temple,
[10]As [is] Thy name, O God, so [is] Thy praise, Over the ends of the earth, Righteousness hath filled Thy right hand.
[11]Rejoice doth Mount Zion, The daughters of Judah are joyful, For the sake of Thy judgments.
[12]Compass Zion, and go round her, count her towers,
[13]Set your heart to her bulwark, Consider her high places, So that ye recount to a later generation,
[14]That this God [is] our God -- To the age and for ever, He -- he doth lead us over death!
