Psalms

¹Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised, in the city of our God, in his holy mountain. ²Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion, on the north sides, the city of the great King. ³God has shown himself in her citadels as a refuge. ⁴For, behold, the kings assembled themselves, they passed by together. ⁵They saw it, then they were amazed. They were dismayed. They hurried away. ⁶Trembling took hold of them there, pain, as of a woman in travail. ⁷With the east wind, you break the ships of Tarshish. ⁸As we have heard, so we have seen, in the city of the LORD of Armies, in the city of our God. God will establish it forever. Selah. ⁹We have thought about your loving kindness, God, in the middle of your temple. ¹⁰As is your name, God, so is your praise to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is full of righteousness. ¹¹Let Mount Zion be glad! Let the daughters of Judah rejoice because of your judgments. ¹²Walk about Zion, and go around her. Number its towers. ¹³Notice her bulwarks. Consider her palaces, that you may tell it to the next generation. ¹⁴For this God is our God forever and ever. He will be our guide even to death.
