1(Shir. Mizmor. Of the Bnei Korach)

2Gadol is Hashem,
and greatly to be praised in the Ir Eloheinu,
in His Har Kodesh.

3Yafeh in its loftiness, the joy of kol ha'aretz,
is Mount Tziyon, on the sides of the north,
the City of Melech Rav.

4Elohim is in her citadels,
known as her fortress.

5For, hinei, the melachim were assembled,
they advanced together.

6They saw, and ken (thus) they marvelled;
they were troubled, and fled.

7Trembling took hold upon them sham (there),
and pain, as of a woman in labor.

8Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish
with an east wind.

9As we have heard, so have we seen
in the Ir Hashem Tzva'os,
in the Ir Eloheinu;
Elohim will establish it ad olam.
Selah

10We meditate on Thy chesed, O Elohim,
in the midst of Thy Heikhal.

11According to Thy Shem, O Elohim,
so is Thy tehillah unto the ends of ha'aretz;
Thy right hand is full of tzedek.

12Let Mount Tziyon rejoice,
let the Banot Yehudah (Daughters of Judah) be glad,
because of Thy mishpatim.

13Walk about Tziyon, and go around her;
count the towers thereof.

14Mark ye well her ramparts,
consider her citadels;
that ye may tell it to the dor acharon.

15For this Elohim is Eloheinu olam vaed;
He will be our guide even unto death. ⁵³
