King James Version of the
Bible
1 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.1
