King James Version
1 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised
in the city of our God,
in the mountain of his holiness.
2 Beautiful for situation,in the mountain of his holiness.
the joy of the whole earth,
is mount Zion, on the sides of the north,
the city of the great King.
3 God is known in her palacesis mount Zion, on the sides of the north,
the city of the great King.
for a refuge.
4 For, lo, the kings were assembled,
they passed by together.
5 They saw it, and so they marvelled;they were troubled, and hasted away.
6 Fear took hold upon them there,and pain, as of a woman in travail.
7 Thou breakest the ships of Tarshishwith an east wind.
8 As we have heard,
so have we seen
in the city of the Lord of hosts,
in the city of our God:
God will establish it for ever. Selah.
in the city of the Lord of hosts,
in the city of our God:
God will establish it for ever. Selah.
9 We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God,
in the midst of thy temple.
10 According to 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 rejoice,thy right hand is full of righteousness.
let the daughters of Judah be glad,
because of thy judgments.
because of thy judgments.
12 Walk about Zion,
and go round about her:
tell the towers thereof.
13 Mark ye well her bulwarks,tell the towers thereof.
consider her palaces;
that ye may tell it to the generation following.
14 For this Godthat ye may tell it to the generation following.
is our God for ever and ever:
he will be our guide
even unto death.
he will be our guide
even unto death.
