1 <A Song. A Psalm. Of the sons of Korah.> Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised, in the town of our God, in his holy mountain.

1 שִׁ֥יר מִ֝זְמֹור לִבְנֵי־קֹֽרַח׃

2 Beautiful in its high position, the joy of all the earth, is the mountain of Zion, the mountain of God, the town of the great King.

2 גָּ֘דֹ֤ול יְהוָ֣ה וּמְהֻלָּ֣ל מְאֹ֑ד בְּעִ֥יר אֱ֝לֹהֵ֗ינוּ הַר־קָדְשֹֽׁו׃

3 In its buildings God is seen to be a high tower.

3 יְפֵ֥ה נֹוף֮ מְשֹׂ֪ושׂ כָּל־הָ֫אָ֥רֶץ הַר־צִ֭יֹּון יַרְכְּתֵ֣י צָפֹ֑ון קִ֝רְיַ֗ת מֶ֣לֶךְ רָֽב׃

4 For see! the kings came together by agreement, they were joined together.

4 אֱלֹהִ֥ים בְּאַרְמְנֹותֶ֗יהָ נֹודַ֥ע לְמִשְׂגָּֽב׃

5 They saw it, and so were full of wonder; they were troubled, and went quickly away in fear.

5 כִּֽי־הִנֵּ֣ה הַ֭מְּלָכִים נֹֽועֲד֑וּ עָבְר֥וּ יַחְדָּֽו׃

6 Shaking came on them and pain, as on a woman in childbirth.

6 הֵ֣מָּה רָ֭אוּ כֵּ֣ן תָּמָ֑הוּ נִבְהֲל֥וּ נֶחְפָּֽזוּ׃

7 By you the ships of Tarshish are broken as by an east wind.

7 רְ֭עָדָה אֲחָזָ֣תַם שָׁ֑ם חִ֝֗יל כַּיֹּולֵֽדָה׃

8 As it came to our ears so have we seen it, in the town of the Lord of armies, in the town of our God; God will keep it fixed for ever. (Selah.)

8 בְּר֥וּחַ קָדִ֑ים תְּ֝שַׁבֵּ֗ר אֳנִיֹּ֥ות תַּרְשִֽׁישׁ׃

9 Our thoughts were of your mercy, O God, while we were in your Temple.

9 כַּאֲשֶׁ֤ר שָׁמַ֨עְנוּ׀ כֵּ֤ן רָאִ֗ינוּ בְּעִיר־יְהוָ֣ה צְ֭בָאֹות בְּעִ֣יר אֱלֹהֵ֑ינוּ אֱלֹ֘הִ֤ים יְכֹונְנֶ֖הָ עַד־עֹולָ֣ם סֶֽלָה׃

10 As your name is, O God, so is your praise to the ends of the earth; your right hand is full of righteousness.

10 דִּמִּ֣ינוּ אֱלֹהִ֣ים חַסְדֶּ֑ךָ בְּ֝קֶ֗רֶב הֵיכָלֶֽךָ׃

11 Let there be joy in the mountain of Zion, and let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of your wise decisions.

11 כְּשִׁמְךָ֤ אֱלֹהִ֗ים כֵּ֣ן תְּ֭הִלָּתְךָ עַל־קַצְוֵי־אֶ֑רֶץ צֶ֝֗דֶק מָלְאָ֥ה יְמִינֶֽךָ׃

12 Make your way about Zion, and go round it, numbering its towers.

12 יִשְׂמַ֤ח׀ הַר־צִיֹּ֗ון תָּ֭גֵלְנָה בְּנֹ֣ות יְהוּדָ֑ה לְ֝מַ֗עַן מִשְׁפָּטֶֽיךָ׃

13 Take note of its strong walls, looking well at its fair buildings; so that you may give word of it to the generation which comes after.

13 סֹ֣בּוּ צִ֭יֹּון וְהַקִּיפ֑וּהָ סִ֝פְר֗וּ מִגְדָּלֶֽיהָ׃

14 Because this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide.

14 שִׁ֤יתוּ לִבְּכֶ֨ם׀ לְֽחֵילָ֗ה פַּסְּג֥וּ אַרְמְנֹותֶ֑יהָ לְמַ֥עַן תְּ֝סַפְּר֗וּ לְדֹ֣ור אַחֲרֹֽון׃
