1The song of psalm, of the sons of Korah. The Lord is great, and worthy to be praised full much; in the city of our God, in the holy hill of him.
2It is founded in the full out joying of all earth; the hill of Zion, the sides of the north, the city of the great king.
3God shall be known in the houses thereof; when he shall take it.
4For lo! the kings of earth were gathered together; they came into one place.
5They seeing, so wondered; they were troubled, they were moved altogether,
6trembling took them. There sorrows, as of a woman travailing of child;
7in a great spirit thou shalt all-break the ships of Tarshish.
8As we heard, so we saw, in the city of the Lord of virtues, in the city of our God; God hath founded that city without end.
9God, we have received thy mercy; in the midst of thy temple.
