1 canticum psalmi filiis Core secunda sabbati magnus Dominus et laudabilis nimis in civitate Dei nostri in monte sancto eius
A Melodious Song. For the Sons of Korah. Great is Yahweh, and worthy to be mightily praised, In the city of our God, His holy mountain.

Beautiful in elevation, the joy of all the land, Is Mount Zion, in the recesses of the north, —The city of a great king.
3 Deus in domibus eius cognoscitur cum suscipiet eam
God, in her palaces, is to be known as a high tower.
4 quoniam ecce reges congregati sunt convenerunt in unum
For lo! Kings—Met as appointed, Passed by together;
5 ipsi videntes sic admirati sunt conturbati sunt commoti sunt
They themselves, saw, So, were they amazed, Dismayed—they hurried way!
6 tremor adprehendit eos ibi dolores ut parturientis
Trembling, seized them, there, Pangs. like hers who is in travail.
7 in spiritu vehementi conteres naves Tharsis
With an east wind, wilt thou shatter the ships of Tarshish.
8 sicut audivimus sic vidimus in civitate Domini virtutum in civitate Dei nostri Deus fundavit eam in aeternum diapsalma
Just as we have heard, So, have we seen, In the city of Yahweh of hosts, In the city of our God, God himself, will establish her, unto times age-abiding. (Selah)
9 suscepimus Deus misericordiam tuam in medio templi tui
We have thought, O God, upon thy lovingkindness, In the midst of thy temple:
10 secundum nomen tuum Deus sic et laus tua in fines terrae iustitia plena est dextera tua
According to thy Name, O God, So, be thy praise, unto the ends of the earth, With righteousness, is, thy right hand, filled.
11 laetetur mons Sion exultent filiae Iudaeae propter iudicia tua Domine
Let Mount Zion rejoice, Let the daughters of Judah exult, Because of thy judgments.
12 circumdate Sion et conplectimini eam narrate in turribus eius
Go round Zion, and compass her about, Reckon up her towers;
13 ponite corda vestra in virtute eius et distribuite domus eius ut enarretis in progeniem alteram
Apply your mind to her rampart, Pass between her palaces, That ye may recount them to an after generation;
14 quoniam hic est Deus Deus noster in aeternum et in saeculum saeculi ipse reget nos in saecula
For, this God, is our God, to times age-abiding and beyond, He himself, will conduct us till death.
