American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
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 windThou breakest the ships of Tarshish.
As we have heard, so have we seenIn 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.

For the Chief Musician. Maschil of the sons of Korah.As the hart panteth after the water brooks,So panteth my soul after thee, O God.
My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God:When shall I come and appear before God?
My tears have been my food day and night,While they {Hebrew: all the day.}continually say unto me, Where is thy God?
These things I remember, and pour out my soul {Hebrew: upon.}within me,How I went with the throng, and {Or, went in procession with them}led them to the house of God,With the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping holyday.
Why art thou {Hebrew: bowed down.}cast down, O my soul?And why art thou disquieted within me?Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise himFor the help of his countenance.
O my God, my soul is cast down within me:Therefore do I remember thee from the land of the Jordan,And the Hermons, from {Or, the little mountain}the hill Mizar.
Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterfalls:All thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.
Yet Jehovah will command his lovingkindness in the day-time;And in the night his song shall be with me,Even a prayer unto the God of my life.
I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me?Why go I mourning {Or, while the enemy oppresseth}because of the oppression of the enemy?
As with {Or, crushing}a sword in my bones, mine adversaries reproach me,While they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?
Why art thou cast down, O my soul?And why art thou disquieted within me?Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise him,Who is the help of my countenance, and my God.
