A Song[H7892] and Psalm[H4210] for the sons[H1121] of Korah[H7141]. Great[H1419] is the LORD[H3068], and greatly[H3966] to be praised[H1984] in the city[H5892] of our God[H430], in the mountain[H2022] of his holiness[H6944].
2Beautiful[H3303] for situation[H5131], the joy[H4885] of the whole earth[H776], is mount[H2022]Zion[H6726], on the sides[H3411] of the north[H6828], the city[H7151] of the great[H7227]King[H4428].
3God[H430] is known[H3045] in her palaces[H759] for a refuge[H4869].
4
For, lo, the kings[H4428] were assembled[H3259], they passed by[H5674]together[H3162].
5
They saw[H7200] it, and so they marvelled[H8539]; they were troubled[H926], and hasted away[H2648].
6Fear[H7461] took hold[H270] upon them there, and pain[H2427], as of a woman in travail[H3205].
7
Thou breakest[H7665] the ships[H591] of Tarshish[H8659] with an east[H6921]wind[H7307].
8
As we have heard[H8085], so have we seen[H7200] in the city[H5892] of the LORD[H3068] of hosts[H6635], in the city[H5892] of our God[H430]: God[H430] will establish[H3559] it for[H5704]ever[H5769]. Selah[H5542].
9
We have thought[H1819] of thy lovingkindness[H2617], O God[H430], in the midst[H7130] of thy temple[H1964].
10
According to thy name[H8034], O God[H430], so is thy praise[H8416] unto the ends[H7099] of the earth[H776]: thy right hand[H3225] is full[H4390] of righteousness[H6664].
11
Let mount[H2022]Zion[H6726]rejoice[H8055], let the daughters[H1323] of Judah[H3063] be glad[H1523], because of thy judgments[H4941].
12
Walk about[H5437]Zion[H6726], and go round about[H5362] her: tell[H5608] the towers[H4026] thereof.
13Mark[H7896] ye well[H3820] her bulwarks[H2430], consider[H6448] her palaces[H759]; that ye may tell[H5608] it to the generation[H1755]following[H314].
14
For this God[H430] is our God[H430] for ever[H5769] and ever[H5703]: he will be our guide[H5090] even unto death[H4192].
