1 A song. A psalm of the Sons of Korah. Great is the LORD, and most worthy of praise, in the city of our God, his holy mountain.
[gsn]
[jfb]
[jwc]
2 It is beautiful in its loftiness, the joy of the whole earth. Like the utmost heights of Zaphon is Mount Zion, the city of the Great King.
[gsn]
[jfb]
[jwc]
3 God is in her citadels; he has shown himself to be her fortress.
[gsn]
[jfb]
[jwc]
4 When the kings joined forces, when they advanced together,
[gsn]
[jfb]
[jwc]
5 they saw \cf15\I her and were astounded; they fled in terror.
[gsn]
[jwc]
6 Trembling seized them there, pain like that of a woman in labor.
[jwc]
7 You destroyed them like ships of Tarshish shattered by an east wind.
[gsn]
[jfb]
[jwc]
8 As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD Almighty, in the city of our God: God makes her secure forever. \cf15\I Selah
[gsn]
[jfb]
[jwc]
9 Within your temple, O God, we meditate on your unfailing love.
[jfb]
[jwc]
10 Like your name, O God, your praise reaches to the ends of the earth; your right hand is filled with righteousness.
[gsn]
[jfb]
[jwc]
11 Mount Zion rejoices, the villages of Judah are glad because of your judgments.
[gsn]
[jfb]
[jwc]
12 Walk about Zion, go around her, count her towers,
[gsn]
[jfb]
[jwc]
13 consider well her ramparts, view her citadels, that you may tell of them to the next generation.
[jwc]
14 For this God is our God for ever and ever; he will be our guide even to the end.
