Broken Bondage

1Great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised, In the city of our God, in his holy mountain.+ 2Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, Is mount Zion, [on] the sides of the north, The city of the great King.+ 3God hath made himself known in her palaces for a refuge.+ 4For, lo, the kings assembled themselves, They passed by together.+ 5They saw it, then were they amazed; They were dismayed, they hasted away.+ 6Trembling took hold of them there, Pain, as of a woman in travail.+ 7With the east wind Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish.+ 8As we have heard, so have we seen In the city of Jehovah of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever.[Selah+ 9We have thought on thy lovingkindness, O God, In the midst of thy temple.+ 10As is thy name, O God, So is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: Thy right hand is full of righteousness.+ 11Let mount Zion be glad, Let the daughters of Judah rejoice, Because of thy judgments.+ 12Walk about Zion, and go round about her; Number the towers thereof;+ 13Mark ye well her bulwarks; Consider her palaces: That ye may tell it to the generation following.+ 14For this God is our God for ever and ever: He will be our guide [even] unto death.+
