[1] Great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised, In the city of our God,
in his holy mountain. [2] Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole
earth, Is Mount Zion, on the north sides, The city of the great King.
[3] God has shown himself in her citadels as a refuge. [4] For, behold, the
kings assembled themselves, They passed by together. [5] They saw it,
then were they amazed. They were dismayed, They hurried away. [6]
Trembling took hold of them there, Pain, as of a woman in travail. [7]
With the east wind, you break the ships of Tarshish. [8] As we have heard,
so have we seen, In the city of Yahweh of Hosts, in the city of our God.
God will establish it forever. Selah. [9] We have thought about your
lovingkindness, God, In the midst of your temple. [10] As is your name,
God, So is your praise to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is
full of righteousness. [11] Let Mount Zion be glad! Let the daughters of
Judah rejoice, Because of your judgments. [12] Walk about Zion, and go
around her. Number the towers of it; [13] Mark well her bulwarks.
Consider her palaces, That you may tell it to the next generation. [14]
For this God is our God forever and ever. He will be our guide even to
death. Psalm 49 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by the sons of
Korah.
