A Song. A Psalm by the sons of Korah. Great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised, in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.

4 Quoniam ecce reges terræ congregati sunt; convenerunt in unum.
For, behold, the kings assembled themselves, they passed by together.
5 Ipsi videntes, sic admirati sunt, conturbati sunt, commoti sunt.
They saw it, then they were amazed. They were dismayed. They hurried away.
6 Tremor apprehendit eos; ibi dolores ut parturientis:
Trembling took hold of them there, pain, as of a woman in travail.
7 in spiritu vehementi conteres naves Tharsis.
With the east wind, you break the ships of Tarshish.
8 Sicut audivimus, sic vidimus, in civitate Domini virtutum, in civitate Dei nostri: Deus fundavit eam in æternum.
As we have heard, so we have seen, in the city of Yahweh of Armies, in the city of our God. God will establish it forever. (Selah)

We have thought about your loving kindness, God, in the middle of your temple.
10 Secundum nomen tuum, Deus, sic et laus tua in fines terræ; justitia plena est dextera tua.
As is your name, God, so is your praise to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is full of righteousness.
11 Lætetur mons Sion, et exsultent filiæ Judæ, propter judicia tua, Domine.
Let Mount Zion be glad! Let the daughters of Judah rejoice because of your judgments.
12 Circumdate Sion, et complectimini eam; narrate in turribus ejus.
Walk about Zion, and go around her. Number its towers.
13 Ponite corda vestra in virtute ejus, et distribuite domos ejus, ut enarretis in progenie altera.
Notice her bulwarks. Consider her palaces, that you may tell it to the next generation.
14 Quoniam hic est Deus, Deus noster in æternum, et in sæculum sæculi: ipse reget nos in sæcula.]
For this God is our God forever and ever. He will be our guide even to death.
