1
A song, the psalme of the children of Corach. Great is God, and hyghly to be praysed: in the citie of our Lorde, his holy hyll.
-
2
The hyll of Sion is fayre in situation, and the ioy of the whole earth: vpon the north syde lyeth the citie of the great king.
-
3
God is well knowen in her palaces: as a most sure refuge.
-
4
For lo kinges did assemble, and passe by together:
-
5
they them selues sawe it, lykewyse they marueyled, they were astonyed with feare, and sodenly in haste they were gone away.
-
6
A feare came there vpon them and sorowe: as vpon a woman in her childe trauayle.
-
7
Thou didst breake the shippes of the sea: through the east wynde.
-
8
Lyke as we haue hearde, so haue we seene in the citie of God of hoastes: in the citie of our Lorde, God vpholdeth the same for euer. Selah.

9
O Lorde we haue wayted: for thy louyng kindnesse in the myddest of thy temple.

10
O Lorde, accordyng to thy name, so is thy prayse vnto the worldes ende: thy ryght hande is full of iustice.
-
11
Mount Sion shall reioyce, and the daughters of Iuda shalbe glad: because of thy iudgementes.
-
12
Compasse about Sion, and go rounde about her: and tell the towres therof.
-
13
Marke well her bulwarkes, beholde her hygh palaces: that ye may tell it to your posteritie.
-
14
For this God is our God for euer and euer: he wyll be our guide vnto death.
