1
Great is the Lord, and
|
highly • to be
|
praised
||
in the city of our God,
|
even up•on his
|
holy
|
hill.
||
2
The hill of Sion is a fair place, and the
|
joy of the • whole
|
earth;
||
upon the north side lieth the city of the great King: * God is well known in her
|
3
palaces
|
as a • sure
|
refuge.
||
3
For lo, the kings of the earth are gathered, and gone
|
by to-
|
gether.
||
4
They marvelled to see such things; * they were as-
|
tonished, • and
|
suddenly • cast
|
down.

Fear came there up-

on them; • and
|
sorrow,
||
as upon a
|
woman
|
in her
|
travail.
||
*
Or,
6
Thou shalt break the
|
ships • of the
|
sea
||
3
through
|
— the
|
east-
|
wind.

Like as we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the Lord of hosts, * in the
|
city of • our
|
God;
||
God up-
|
3
holdeth the
|
same for
|
ever.
||
*
Or,
8
We wait for thy loving-
|
3
kindness,
•
O
|
God,
||
in the
|
midst
|
of thy
|
temple.

O God, according to thy Name, so is thy
|
praise un•to the
|
world’s end;
||
thy
3
right
|
hand is
|
full of
|
righteous•ness.
||
10
Let the mount
|
3
Sion re-
|
joice,
||
and the daughter of Judah be
|
glad, be-
|
3
cause of
•
thy
|
judgments.
