1 A song. A psalm of the sons of Korah. [1] The LORD is great and highly praised in the city of our God. ⓖ His holy mountain,
2 rising splendidly, is the joy of the whole earth. Mount Zion — the summit of Zaphon —  is the city of the great King. ⓗ
3 God is known as a stronghold in its citadels. ⓘ
4 Look! The kings assembled; they advanced together. ⓙ
5 They looked and froze with fear; they fled in terror. ⓚ
6 Trembling seized them there, agony like that of a woman in labor, ⓛ
7 as you wrecked the ships of Tarshish with the east wind. ⓜ
8 Just as we heard, so we have seen in the city of the LORD of Armies, in the city of our God; God will establish it forever. ⓝ Selah
9 God, within your temple, we contemplate your faithful love. ⓐ
10 Like your name, God, so your praise reaches to the ends of the earth; ⓑ your right hand is filled with justice. ⓒ
11 Mount Zion is glad. Judah’s villages [1] rejoice because of your judgments. ⓓ
12 Go around Zion, encircle it; count its towers,
13 note its ramparts; tour its citadels so that you can tell a future generation: ⓔ
14 “This God, our God forever and ever — he will always lead us.” [2] ⓕ
