American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
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.
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. Maschil.We have heard with our ears, O God,Our fathers have told us,What work thou didst in their days,In the days of old.
Thou didst drive out the nations with thy hand;But them thou didst plant:Thou didst afflict the peoples;But them thou didst spread abroad.
For they gat not the land in possession by their own sword,Neither did their own arm save them;But thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance,Because thou wast favorable unto them.
Thou art my King, O God:Command {Or, victories}deliverance for Jacob.
Through thee will we push down our adversaries:Through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.
For I will not trust in my bow,Neither shall my sword save me.
But thou hast saved us from our adversaries,And hast put them to shame that hate us.
In God have we made our boast all the day long,And we will give thanks unto thy name for ever. [Selah
But now thou hast cast us off, and brought us to dishonor,And goest not forth with our hosts.
Thou makest us to turn back from the adversary;And they that hate us take spoil for themselves.
Thou hast made us like sheep appointed for food,And hast scattered us among the nations.
Thou sellest thy people for nought,And hast not increased thy wealth by their price.
Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbors,A scoffing and a derision to them that are round about us.
Thou makest us a byword among the nations,A shaking of the head among the peoples.
All the day long is my dishonor before me,And the shame of my face hath covered me,
For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth,By reason of the enemy and the avenger.
All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee,Neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.
Our heart is not turned back,Neither have our steps declined from thy way,
{Or, Through}That thou hast sore broken us in the place of jackals,And covered us with the shadow of death.
If we have forgotten the name of our God,Or spread forth our hands to a strange god;
Will not God search this out?For he knoweth the secrets of the heart.
Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long;We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord?Arise, cast us not off for ever.
Wherefore hidest thou thy face,And forgettest our affliction and our oppression?
For our soul is bowed down to the dust:Our body cleaveth unto the earth.
Rise up for our help,And redeem us for thy lovingkindness' sake.

For the Chief Musician; set to {That is, Lilies}Shoshannim. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. Maschil. A Song of loves.My heart overfloweth with a goodly matter; {Or, I speak: my work is for a king}I speak the things which I have made touching the king:My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
Thou art fairer than the children of men;Grace is poured {Or, upon}into thy lips:Therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.
Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O mighty one,Thy glory and thy majesty.
And in thy majesty ride on prosperously, {Or, In behalf of}Because of truth and meekness and righteousness:And {Or, let thy right hand teach}thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.
Thine arrows are sharp;The peoples fall under thee;They are in the heart of the king's enemies.
{Or, Thy throne is the throne of God &c.}Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever:A sceptre of equity is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated wickedness:Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed theeWith the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia;Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made thee glad.
Kings' daughters are among thy honorable women:At thy right hand doth stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear;Forget also thine own people, and thy father's house:
So will the king desire thy beauty;For he is thy lord; and reverence thou him.
And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift;The rich among the people shall entreat thy favor.
The king's daughter {Or, in the inner part of the palace}within the palace is all glorious:Her clothing is inwrought with gold.
She shall be led unto the king {Or, upon}in broidered work:The virgins her companions that follow herShall be brought unto thee.
With gladness and rejoicing shall they be led:They shall enter into the king's palace.
Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children,Whom thou shalt make princes in all the earth.
I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations:Therefore shall the peoples give thee thanks for ever and ever.
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah; set to Alamoth. A Song.God is our refuge and strength,A very present help in trouble.
Therefore will we not fear, though the earth do change,And though the mountains be shaken into the heart of the seas
Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled,Though the mountains tremble with the {Or, pride}swelling thereof. [Selah
There is a river, the streams whereof make glad the city of God,The holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High.
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.
The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved:He uttered his voice, the earth melted.
Jehovah of hosts is with us;The God of Jacob is our {Or, high tower}refuge. [Selah
Come, behold the works of Jehovah, {Or, Who hath made desolation &c.}What desolations he hath made in the earth.
He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth;He breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder;He burneth the chariots in the fire.
{Or, Let be}Be still, and know that I am God:I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.
Jehovah of hosts is with us;The God of Jacob is our {Or, high tower}refuge. [Selah
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.Oh clap your hands, all ye peoples;Shout unto God with the voice of triumph.
For {Or, Jehovah is most high and terrible}Jehovah Most High is terrible;He is a great King over all the earth.
He subdueth peoples under us,And nations under our feet.
He chooseth our inheritance for us,The glory of Jacob whom he {Or, loveth}loved. [Selah
God is gone up with a shout,Jehovah with the sound of a trumpet.
Sing praises to God, sing praises:Sing praises unto our King, sing praises.
For God is the King of all the earth:Sing ye praises {Or, in a skilful psalm Hebrew: Maschil.}with understanding.
God reigneth over the nations:God sitteth upon his holy throne.
The princes of the peoples are gathered together {Or, Unto the people}To be the people of the God of Abraham;For the shields of the earth belong unto God:He is greatly exalted.
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.
