Tap any verse to comment or suggest a better wording.

¹A song. A psalm of the sons of Korah.
The LORD is great!
He should be praised greatly in the city of our God,
on his holy mountain. ²Mount Zion is high and beautiful.
It is the joy of all the earth.
It is like the peaks of Zaphon.
It is the city of the great King. ³God is in her strong towers.
He has shown that he is a strong fort. ⁴Look, the kings gathered together.
They all marched forward together. ⁵They saw it and were amazed.
They ran away in terror. ⁶They began to shake there.
They were in pain like a woman giving birth. ⁷With a wind from the east,
you wrecked the ships of Tarshish. ⁸We have heard about it, and now we have seen it
in the city of the LORD of Hosts, in the city of our God.
God will make her stand firm forever. Selah ⁹God, in your temple
we think about your faithful love. ¹⁰God, your name reaches to the ends of the earth.
So does your praise.
Your right hand is full of what is right. ¹¹Mount Zion is glad.
The daughters of Judah are full of joy
because of your judgments. ¹²Walk around Zion. Go all the way around her.
Count her towers. ¹³Look closely at her walls.
Go through her strong towers.
Then you can tell the next generation. ¹⁴For this God is our God forever and ever.
He will be our guide even until death.
