Zion, the City of Our God
A Song. A Psalm of kthe Sons of Korah.
1lGreat is the Lord and greatly to be praised
in mthe city of our God!
His nholy mountain, 2obeautiful in elevation,
is pthe joy of all the earth,
Mount Zion, in the far north,
qthe city of the great King.
3Within her citadels God
has made himself known as a fortress.
4For behold, rthe kings assembled;
they came on together.
5As soon as they saw it, they were astounded;
they were in panic; they took to flight.
6sTrembling took hold of them there,
anguish tas of a woman in labor.
7By uthe east wind you vshattered
the ships of wTarshish.
8As we have heard, so have we seen
in the city of the Lord of hosts,
in mthe city of our God,
which God will xestablish forever. Selah
9We have thought on your ysteadfast love, O God,
in the midst of your temple.
10As your zname, O God,
so your praise reaches to athe ends of the earth.
Your right hand is filled with righteousness.
11Let Mount bZion be glad!
Let bthe daughters of Judah rejoice
because of your judgments!
12Walk about Zion, go around her,
number her towers,
13consider well her cramparts,
go through her citadels,
dthat you may tell the next generation
14that this is God,
our God forever and ever.
