aGreat is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised,In the bcity of our God, His choly mountain.2aBeautiful in elevation, bthe joy of the whole earth,Is Mount Zion in the far north,The ccity of the great King.3God, in her palaces,Has made Himself known as a astronghold.4For, behold, the akings assembled themselves,They passed by together.5They saw it, then they were astonished;They were adismayed, they 1fled in alarm.61Panic seized them there,Anguish, as of aa woman in childbirth.7With the aeast windYou bbreak the cships of Tarshish.8As we have heard, so have we seenIn the city of Yahweh of hosts, in the city of our God;God will aestablish her forever. 1 Selah.9We have thought on aYour lovingkindness, O God,In the midst of Your temple.10As is Your aname, O God,So is Your bpraise to the ends of the earth;Your cright hand is full of righteousness.11Let Mount aZion be glad,Let the bdaughters of Judah rejoiceBecause of Your judgments.12Walk about Zion and go around her;Count her atowers;13Consider her aramparts;Go through her palaces,That you may brecount it to the next generation.14For this is God,Our God forever and ever;He will aguide us 1over death.
