King James Version (KJV)

1 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness.
2 Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.
3 God is known in her palaces for a refuge.
4 For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together.
5 They saw it, and so they marvelled; they were troubled, and hasted away.
6 Fear took hold upon them there, and pain, as of a woman in travail.
7 Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.
8 As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. Selah.
9 We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple.
10 According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.
11 Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments.
12 Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers thereof.
13 Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following.
14 For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.

1 Pjesma. Psalam. Sinova Korahovih.
2 Velik je Jahve, hvale predostojan u gradu Boga našega.
3 Sveto brdo njegovo, brijeg veličanstven, radost je zemlji svoj. Gora Sion, na krajnjem sjeveru, grad je Kralja velikog.
4 Bog u kulama njegovim jakom se pokaza utvrdom.
5 Jer gle, složiše se kraljevi, navališe zajedno.
6 Čim vidješe, zapanjiše se i zbunjeni u bijeg nagnuše.
7 Ondje ih trepet obuze kao muka porodilje,
8 kao kad vjetar istočni razbija brodove taršiške.
9 Što smo čuli, sada vidimo: grad Jahve nad Vojskama, grad Boga našega - Bog ga utvrdi dovijeka.
10 Spominjemo se, Bože, tvoje dobrote usred Hrama tvojega.
11 Kao ime tvoje, Bože, tako i slava tvoja do nakraj zemlje doseže. Puna je pravde desnica tvoja; neka se raduje brdo sionsko!
12 Neka kliču gradovi Judini zbog tvojih sudova!
13 Obiđite Sion i prođite njime, prebrojite kule njegove!
14 Pogledajte dobro bedeme njegove, promotrite mu potanko dvorove: da biste kazivali budućem koljenu:
15 "Takav je Bog, Bog naš zasvagda i dovijeka! On neka nas vodi!"
