1 A song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. Great [is] YHWH, and greatly to be praised, in the city of our God, the mountain of His holiness. VP

2 Beautiful [in] elevation, the joy of all the earth, like the peaks of Zaphon [is] Mount Zion, the city of the great King. VP

3 God [is] in her citadels, known as a secure height. VP

4 For behold, the kings assembled; they passed over together. VP

5 They saw, so they were astonished; they were in dismay, and they hurried away. VP

6 Trembling took hold of them there, [and] writhing like a woman in labor. VP

7 With a wind of the east you broke apart the ships of Tarshish. VP

8 According to what we have heard, so we have seen, in the city of YHWH of Hosts, in the city of our God; God will establish her even to forever! Selah VP

9 we have reflected, O God, [on] Your loving devotion, within Your temple. VP

10 According to Your name, O God, so Your praise [is] unto the ends of the earth; Your right hand is full of righteousness. VP

11 Let Mount Zion be glad; let the daughters of Judah rejoice, on account of Your judgments! VP

12 Go around Zion and encircle her, [and] count her towers. VP

13 Set your⁺ heart toward her bulwark, pass between her citadels, so that you⁺ may recount [it] to the following generation. VP

14 For this [is] God, Our God, forever and ever! He will lead us over death. VP
