A Psalm of praise for the sons of Core on the second [day] of the week. Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.

The city of the great King is well planted [on] the mountains of Sion, with the joy of the whole earth, [on] the sides of the north.

For, behold the kings of the earth were assembled, they came together.

Trembling took hold on them: there were the pangs as of a woman in travail.

You will break the ships of Tharsis with a vehement wind.

As we have heard, so have we also seen, in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God: God has founded it for ever. (Pause)
9 O Chineke, nʼime ụlọnsọ ukwuu gị, ka anyị nọ na-atụgharị uche nʼịhụnanya gị nke na-enweghị ọgwụgwụ.
We have thought of your mercy, O God, in the midst of your people.
10 O Chineke, dịka aha gị, otuto gị na-eru na nsọtụ ụwa niile; aka nri gị jupụtara nʼezi omume.
According to your name, O God, so is also your praise to the ends of the earth: your right hand is full of righteousness.
11 Ugwu Zayọn na-aṅụrị ọṅụ, obodo nta niile nke Juda nwere obi ụtọ nʼihi ikpe gị niile.
Let mount Sion rejoice, let the daughters of Judaea exult, because of your judgments, O Lord.
12 Gaanụ Zayọn gburugburu, Jegharịa ya gburugburu, gụọkwanụ ụlọ elu ya niile ọnụ.
Go round about Sion, and encompass her: tell you her towers.
13 Lezienụ mgbidi ya niile anya, nyochakwaanụ ebe ya niile e wusiri ike, ka unu nwee ike ịkọrọ ọgbọ na-abịa nʼihu akụkọ ndị a.
Mark you well her strength, and observe her palaces; that you may tell the next generation.
14 Nʼihi na Chineke a, bụ Chineke anyị ruo mgbe niile ebighị ebi, ọ ga-abụ onyendu anyị, ọ bụladị ruo nʼọgwụgwụ.
For this is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide for evermore.
