Great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised, In the city of our God, in his holy mountain. |
| 2 |
Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, Is mount Zion, `on' the sides of the north, The city of the great King. |
| 3 |
God hath made himself known in her palaces for a refuge. |
| 4 |
For, lo, the kings assembled themselves, They passed by together. |
| 5 |
They saw it, then were they amazed; They were dismayed, they hasted away. |
| 6 |
Trembling took hold of them there, Pain, as of a woman in travail. |
| 7 |
With the east wind Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish. |
| 8 |
As we have heard, so have we seen In the city of Jehovah of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. Selah |
| 9 |
We have thought on thy lovingkindness, O God, In the midst of thy temple. |
| 10 |
As is 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 be glad, Let the daughters of Judah rejoice, Because of thy judgments. |
| 12 |
Walk about Zion, and go round about her; Number the towers thereof; |
| 13 |
Mark ye well her bulwarks; Consider 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. Psalm 49 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. |
