1Yahweh is great and very worthy of praise in the city of our God, in his ⌞holy mountain⌟. 2Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is ⌞Mount Zion⌟, ⌞in the far north⌟, the city of the great king. 3God is in her citadels; he is known as a high stronghold. 4For see, the kings assembled; they advanced together. 5⌞They themselves saw⌟ it, so they were astonished. They were terrified; they ran off. 6Trembling seized them there— pain as of a woman in labor. 7With an east wind you shatter the ships of Tarshish. 8As we have heard, so we have seen in the city of Yahweh of hosts, in the city of our God. God will establish her forever. Selah 9We have pondered your loyal love, O God, in the midst of your temple. 10As is your name, O God, so is your praise to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is full of righteousness. 11Let ⌞Mount Zion⌟ rejoice; let the daughters of Judah rejoice because of your judgments. 12Walk about Zion and circle it; count her towers. 13⌞Consider well⌟ her ramparts. Go through her citadels so that you can tell the next generation 14that this is God, our God forever and ever. ⌞He himself⌟ will guide us until death.
