1 A song. A psalm of the descendants of Korach: Great is ADONAI and greatly to be praised, in the city of our God, his holy mountain,

2 beautiful in its elevation, the joy of all the earth, Mount Tziyon, in the far north, the city of the great king.
2 Beautiful in its loftiness, the joy of the whole earth, like the heights of Zaphon is Mount Zion, the city of the Great King.
3 In its citadels God has been revealed as a strong defense.
3 God is in her citadels; he has shown himself to be her fortress.
4 For the kings met by agreement; together they advanced.
4 When the kings joined forces, when they advanced together,
5 They saw and were filled with consternation; terrified, they took to flight.
5 they saw her and were astounded; they fled in terror.
6 Trembling took hold of them, pains like those of a woman in labor,
6 Trembling seized them there, pain like that of a woman in labor.
7 as when the wind out of the east wrecks the "Tarshish" ships.
7 You destroyed them like ships of Tarshish shattered by an east wind.
8 We heard it, and now we see for ourselves in the city of ADONAI-Tzva'ot, in the city of our God. May God establish it forever. (Selah)
8 As we have heard, so we have seen in the city of the LORD Almighty, in the city of our God: God makes her secure forever.
9 God, within your temple we meditate on your grace.
9 Within your temple, O God, we meditate on your unfailing love.
10 God, your praise, like your name, extends to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is filled with righteousness.
10 Like your name, O God, your praise reaches to the ends of the earth; your right hand is filled with righteousness.
11 Let Mount Tziyon rejoice, let the daughters of Y'hudah be glad, because of your judgment [on the enemy].
11 Mount Zion rejoices, the villages of Judah are glad because of your judgments.
12 Walk through Tziyon, go all around it; count how many towers it has.
12 Walk about Zion, go around her, count her towers,
13 Note its ramparts, pass through its citadels, so that you can tell generations to come
13 consider well her ramparts, view her citadels, that you may tell of them to the next generation.
14 that such is God, our God forever; he will guide us eternally.
14 For this God is our God for ever and ever; he will be our guide even to the end.
