## The City of Our God ###### 1 Great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised, In the city of our God, His holy mountain. ###### 2 Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, Is Mount Zion _in_ the far north, The city of the great King. ###### 3 God, in her palaces, Has made Himself known as a stronghold. ###### 4 For, behold, the kings assembled themselves, They passed by together. ###### 5 They saw _it_, then they were astonished; They were dismayed, they fled in alarm. ###### 6 Panic seized them there, Anguish, as of a woman in childbirth. ###### 7 With the east wind You break the ships of Tarshish. ###### 8 As we have heard, so have we seen In the city of Yahweh of hosts, in the city of our God; God will establish her forever. Selah. ###### 9 We have thought on Your lovingkindness, O God, In the midst of Your temple. ###### 10 As is Your name, O God, So is Your praise to the ends of the earth; Your right hand is full of righteousness. ###### 11 Let Mount Zion be glad, Let the daughters of Judah rejoice Because of Your judgments. ###### 12 Walk about Zion and go around her; Count her towers; ###### 13 Consider her ramparts; Go through her palaces, That you may recount _it_ to the next generation. ###### 14 For this is God, Our God forever and ever; He will guide us over death.
