The Glory of God in Zion

A Song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.

1 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised
In the acity of our God,
In His holy mountain. 
2 aBeautiful in1 elevation,
The joy of the whole earth,
Is Mount Zion on the sides of the north,
The city of the great King. 
3 God is in her palaces;
He is known as her refuge.
4 For behold, athe kings assembled,
They passed by together. 
5 They saw it, and so they marveled;
They were troubled, they hastened away.
6 Fear atook hold of them there,
And pain, as of a woman in birth pangs, 
7 As when You break the aships of Tarshish
With an east wind. 
8 As we have heard,
So we have seen
In the city of the Lord of hosts,
In the city of our God:
God will aestablish it forever. Selah 
9 We have thought, O God, on aYour lovingkindness,
In the midst of Your temple. 
10 According to aYour name, O God,
So is Your praise to the ends of the earth;
Your right hand is full of righteousness.
