1Great is Adonai, and greatly to be praised, in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.

2Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking], on the north sides,
the city of the great King. ¹¹⁴

3In its fortresses God has revealed himself as a strong defense.

4For, behold, the kings assembled themselves, they passed by together.

5They saw it, then they were amazed. They were dismayed.
They hurried away.

6Trembling took hold of them there, pain, as of a woman in travail.

7With the east wind, you break the ships of Tarshish.

8As we have sh'ma ·heard obeyed·, so we have seen, in the city of Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies], in the city of our God. God will establish it forever. Selah ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

9We have thought about your chesed ·loving-kindness·, God, in the middle of your temple.

10As is your name, God, so is your tehilah ·praise song· to the ends of the earth.
Your right hand is full of righteousness.

11Let Mount Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking] be glad! Let the daughters of Judah [Praised] rejoice,
Because of your judgments.

12Walk about Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking], and go around her. Number its towers.

13Mark well her bulwarks. Consider her palaces,
that you may tell it to the next generation.

14For this God is our God forever and ever. He will be our guide even to death.
