A Song, a Psalm, by sons of Korah. Great `is' Jehovah, and praised greatly, In the city of our God -- His holy hill. |
2. |
Beautiful `for' elevation, A joy of all the land, `is' Mount Zion, The sides of the north, the city of a great king. |
3. |
God in her high places is known for a tower. |
4. |
For, lo, the kings met, they passed by together, |
5. |
They have seen -- so they have marvelled, They have been troubled, they were hastened away. |
6. |
Trembling hath seized them there, Pain, as of a travailing woman. |
7. |
By an east wind Thou shiverest ships of Tarshish. |
8. |
As we have heard, so we have seen, In the city of Jehovah of hosts, In the city of our God, God doth establish her -- to the age. Selah. |
9. |
We have thought, O God, of Thy kindness, In the midst of Thy temple, |
10. |
As `is' Thy name, O God, so `is' Thy praise, Over the ends of the earth, Righteousness hath filled Thy right hand. |
11. |
Rejoice doth Mount Zion, The daughters of Judah are joyful, For the sake of Thy judgments. |
12. |
Compass Zion, and go round her, count her towers, |
13. |
Set your heart to her bulwark, Consider her high places, So that ye recount to a later generation, |
14. |
That this God `is' our God -- To the age and for ever, He -- he doth lead us over death! |
