Psalms

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.

² the joy of the whole earth. Like the utmost heights of Zaphon is Mount Zion, the city of the Great King.

³ he has shown himself to be her fortress.

⁴ when they advanced together,

⁵ they fled in terror.

⁶ pain like that of a woman in labor.

⁷ shattered by an east wind.

⁸ so have we seen in the city of the Lord Almighty, in the city of our God: God makes her secure forever. Selah

⁹ we meditate on your unfailing love.

¹⁰ your praise reaches to the ends of the earth; your right hand is filled with righteousness.

¹¹ the villages of Judah are glad because of your judgments.

¹² count her towers,

¹³ view her citadels, that you may tell of them to the next generation.

¹⁴ he will be our guide even to the end.
