A song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, His holy mountain. (MT 48:2; LXX 47:1; LXX 47:2; Rahlfs 47:1; Rahlfs 47:2)
שִׁ֥יר מִ֝זְמוֹר לִבְנֵי־קֹֽרַח׃
2Beautiful in loftiness, the joy of all the earth, like the peaks of Zaphon is Mount Zion, the city of the great King. (MT 48:3; LXX 47:3; Rahlfs 47:3)
גָּ֘ד֤וֹל יְהוָ֣ה וּמְהֻלָּ֣ל מְאֹ֑ד בְּעִ֥יר אֱ֝לֹהֵ֗ינוּ הַר־קָדְשֽׁוֹ׃
3God is in her citadels; He has shown Himself to be a fortress. (MT 48:4; LXX 47:4; Rahlfs 47:4)
יְפֵ֥ה נוֹף֮ מְשׂ֪וֹשׂ כָּל־הָ֫אָ֥רֶץ הַר־צִ֭יּוֹן יַרְכְּתֵ֣י צָפ֑וֹן קִ֝רְיַ֗ת מֶ֣לֶךְ רָֽב׃
4For behold, the kings assembled; they all advanced together. (MT 48:5; LXX 47:5; Rahlfs 47:5)
אֱלֹהִ֥ים בְּאַרְמְנוֹתֶ֗יהָ נוֹדַ֥ע לְמִשְׂגָּֽב׃
5They saw and were astounded; they fled in terror. (MT 48:6; LXX 47:6; Rahlfs 47:6)
כִּֽי־הִנֵּ֣ה הַ֭מְּלָכִים נֽוֹעֲד֑וּ עָבְר֥וּ יַחְדָּֽו׃
6Trembling seized them there, anguish like a woman in labor. (MT 48:7; Rahlfs 47:7)
הֵ֣מָּה רָ֭אוּ כֵּ֣ן תָּמָ֑הוּ נִבְהֲל֥וּ נֶחְפָּֽזוּ׃
7With a wind from the east You wrecked the ships of Tarshish. (MT 48:8; LXX 47:8; Rahlfs 47:8)
רְ֭עָדָה אֲחָזָ֣תַם שָׁ֑ם חִ֝֗יל כַּיּוֹלֵֽדָה׃
8As we have heard, so we have seen in the city of the Lord of Hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish her forever. Selah (MT 48:9; LXX 47:9; Rahlfs 47:9)
בְּר֥וּחַ קָדִ֑ים תְּ֝שַׁבֵּ֗ר אֳנִיּ֥וֹת תַּרְשִֽׁישׁ׃
9Within Your temple, O God, we contemplate Your loving devotion. (MT 48:10; LXX 47:10; Rahlfs 47:10)
כַּאֲשֶׁ֤ר שָׁמַ֨עְנוּ ׀ כֵּ֤ן רָאִ֗ינוּ בְּעִיר־יְהוָ֣ה צְ֭בָאוֹת בְּעִ֣יר אֱלֹהֵ֑ינוּ אֱלֹ֘הִ֤ים יְכוֹנְנֶ֖הָ עַד־עוֹלָ֣ם סֶֽלָה׃
10Your name, O God, like Your praise, reaches to the ends of the earth; Your right hand is full of righteousness. (MT 48:11; LXX 47:11; Rahlfs 47:11)
דִּמִּ֣ינוּ אֱלֹהִ֣ים חַסְדֶּ֑ךָ בְּ֝קֶ֗רֶב הֵיכָלֶֽךָ׃
11Mount Zion is glad, the daughters of Judah rejoice, on account of Your judgments. (MT 48:12; LXX 47:12; Rahlfs 47:12)
כְּשִׁמְךָ֤ אֱלֹהִ֗ים כֵּ֣ן תְּ֭הִלָּתְךָ עַל־קַצְוֵי־אֶ֑רֶץ צֶ֝֗דֶק מָלְאָ֥ה יְמִינֶֽךָ׃
12March around Zion, encircle her, count her towers, (MT 48:13; LXX 47:13; Rahlfs 47:13)
יִשְׂמַ֤ח ׀ הַר־צִיּ֗וֹן תָּ֭גֵלְנָה בְּנ֣וֹת יְהוּדָ֑ה לְ֝מַ֗עַן מִשְׁפָּטֶֽיךָ׃
13consider her ramparts, tour her citadels, that you may tell the next generation. (MT 48:14; LXX 47:14; Rahlfs 47:14)
סֹ֣בּוּ צִ֭יּוֹן וְהַקִּיפ֑וּהָ סִ֝פְר֗וּ מִגְדָּלֶֽיהָ׃
14For this God is our God forever and ever; He will be our guide even till death. (MT 48:15; LXX 47:15; Rahlfs 47:15)
שִׁ֤יתוּ לִבְּכֶ֨ם ׀ לְֽחֵילָ֗ה פַּסְּג֥וּ אַרְמְנוֹתֶ֑יהָ לְמַ֥עַן תְּ֝סַפְּר֗וּ לְד֣וֹר אַחֲרֽוֹן׃
