[1] Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, His holy mountain.
[2] Beautiful in loftiness, the joy of all the earth, like the peaks of Zaphon is Mount Zion, the city of the great King.
[3] God is in her citadels; He has shown Himself to be a fortress.
[4] For behold, the kings assembled; they all advanced together.
[5] They saw and were astounded; they fled in terror.
[6] Trembling seized them there, anguish like a woman in labor.
[7] With a wind from the east You wrecked the ships of Tarshish.
[8] As we have heard, so we have seen in the city of the LORD of Hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish her forever. Selah
[9] Within Your temple, O God, we contemplate Your loving devotion.
[10] Your name, O God, like Your praise, reaches to the ends of the earth; Your right hand is full of righteousness.
[11] Mount Zion is glad, the daughters of Judah rejoice, on account of Your judgments.
[12] March around Zion, encircle her, count her towers,
[13] consider her ramparts, tour her citadels, that you may tell the next generation.
[14] For this God is our God forever and ever; He will be our guide even till death.
