| 1. | <A Song. A Psalm. Of the sons of Korah.> Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised, in the town of our God, in his holy mountain. |
| 2. | Beautiful in its high position, the joy of all the earth, is the mountain of Zion, the mountain of God, the town of the great King. |
| 3. | In its buildings God is seen to be a high tower. |
| 4. | For see! the kings came together by agreement, they were joined together. |
| 5. | They saw it, and so were full of wonder; they were troubled, and went quickly away in fear. |
| 6. | Shaking came on them and pain, as on a woman in childbirth. |
| 7. | By you the ships of Tarshish are broken as by an east wind. |
| 8. | As it came to our ears so have we seen it, in the town of the Lord of armies, in the town of our God; God will keep it fixed for ever. (Selah.) |
| 9. | Our thoughts were of your mercy, O God, while we were in your Temple. |
| 10. | As your name is, O God, so is your praise to the ends of the earth; your right hand is full of righteousness. |
| 11. | Let there be joy in the mountain of Zion, and let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of your wise decisions. |
| 12. | Make your way about Zion, and go round it, numbering its towers. |
| 13. | Take note of its strong walls, looking well at its fair buildings; so that you may give word of it to the generation which comes after. |
| 14. | Because this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide. |
