A Song; a Psalm of the sons of Korah.
Great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised,
In the city of our God, in his holy mountain.
Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth,
Is mount Zion, on the sides of the north,
The city of the great King.
God hath made himself known in her palaces for a {Or, high tower}refuge.
For, lo, the kings assembled themselves,
They {Or, passed away}passed by together.
They saw it, then were they amazed;
They were dismayed, they {Or, were stricken with terror}hasted away.
Trembling took hold of them there,
Pain, as of a woman in travail.
{Or, As with the east wind that breatheth}With the east wind
Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish.
As we have heard, so have we seen
In the city of Jehovah of hosts, in the city of our God:
God will establish it for ever.
[Selah
We have thought on thy lovingkindness, O God,
In the midst of thy temple.
As is thy name, O God,
So is thy praise unto the ends of the earth:
Thy right hand is full of righteousness.
Let mount Zion be glad,
Let the daughters of Judah rejoice,
Because of thy judgments.
Walk about Zion, and go round about her;
Number the towers thereof;
Mark ye well her bulwarks;
{Or, Traverse}Consider her palaces:
That ye may tell it to the generation following.
For this God is our God for ever and ever:
He will be our guide even unto death.

God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved:God will help her, {Hebrew: at the dawn of morning.}and that right early.

Yea, of Zion it shall be said, This one and that one was born in her;And the Most High himself will establish her.
Which we have heard and known,And our fathers have told us.
We will not hide them from their children,Telling to the generation to come the praises of Jehovah,And his strength, and his wondrous works that he hath done.
For he established a testimony in Jacob,And appointed a law in Israel,Which he commanded our fathers,That they should make them known to their children;
That the generation to come might know them, even the children that should be born;Who should arise and tell them to their children,
And it shall come to pass in the latter days, that the mountain of Jehovah's house shall be established {Or, at the head}on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day:The father to the children shall make known thy truth.
But in the latter days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of Jehovah's house shall be established {Or, at the head}on the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and peoples shall flow unto it.
And I also say unto thee, that thou art {Greek: Petros.}Peter, and upon this {Greek: petra.}rock I will build my church; and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.
