A Song. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.
1Great is the Lord, 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, on the north sides,
the city of the great King.
3God has shown Himself in her citadels as a refuge.
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 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.
9We have thought about Your loving kindness, God,
in the middle of Your temple.
10As is Your name, God,
so is Your praise to the ends of the earth.
Your right hand is full of righteousness.
11Let Mount Zion be glad!
Let the daughters of Judah rejoice because of Your judgments.
12Walk about Zion, and go around her.
Number its towers.
13Notice 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.
1Psalmus cantici. Filiis Core, secunda sabbati.
2Magnus Dominus et laudabilis nimis, in civitate Dei nostri, in monte sancto ejus. 3Fundatur exsultatione universæ terræ mons Sion; latera aquilonis, civitas regis magni. 4Deus in domibus ejus cognoscetur cum suscipiet eam. 5Quoniam ecce reges terræ congregati sunt; convenerunt in unum. 6Ipsi videntes, sic admirati sunt, conturbati sunt, commoti sunt. 7Tremor apprehendit eos; ibi dolores ut parturientis: 8in spiritu vehementi conteres naves Tharsis. 9Sicut audivimus, sic vidimus, in civitate Domini virtutum, in civitate Dei nostri: Deus fundavit eam in æternum. 10Suscepimus, Deus, misericordiam tuam in medio templi tui. 11Secundum nomen tuum, Deus, sic et laus tua in fines terræ; justitia plena est dextera tua. 12Lætetur mons Sion, et exsultent filiæ Judæ, propter judicia tua, Domine. 13Circumdate Sion, et complectimini eam; narrate in turribus ejus. 14Ponite corda vestra in virtute ejus, et distribuite domos ejus, ut enarretis in progenie altera. 15Quoniam hic est Deus, Deus noster in æternum, et in sæculum sæculi: ipse reget nos in sæcula.
