**1 **\{A Song *and* Psalm for the sons of Korah.} 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, 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 palaces 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 Tarshish with 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.

**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, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments.

**12 **Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers thereof.

**13 **Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell *it* to the generation following.

**14 **For this God *is* our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide *even* unto death.
