¹ Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised, ² Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, ³ God has shown himself in her citadels as a refuge. ⁴ For, behold, the kings assembled themselves, ⁵ They saw it, then they were amazed. ⁶ Trembling took hold of them there,
pain, as of a woman in travail. ⁷ With the east wind, you break the ships of Tarshish. ⁸ As we have heard, so we have seen,
God will establish it forever. Selah. ⁹ We have thought about your loving kindness, God, ¹⁰ As is your name, God,
so is your praise to the ends of the earth. ¹¹ Let Mount Zion be glad! ¹² Walk about Zion, and go around her.
Number its towers. ¹³ Notice her bulwarks.
Consider her palaces,
that you may tell it to the next generation. ¹⁴ For this God is our God forever and ever.
