Psalms

A song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.

Broken Bondage

1A Song, a Psalm, by sons of Korah. Great is Jehovah, and praised greatly, In the city of our God--His holy hill.+ 2Beautiful for elevation, A joy of all the land, is Mount Zion, The sides of the north, the city of a great king.+ 3God in her high places is known for a tower.+ 4For, lo, the kings met, they passed by together,+ 5They have seen--so they have marvelled, They have been troubled, they were hastened away.+ 6Trembling hath seized them there, Pain, as of a travailing woman.+ 7By an east wind Thou shiverest ships of Tarshish.+ 8As we have heard, so we have seen, In the city of Jehovah of hosts, In the city of our God, God doth establish her--to the age. Selah.+ 9We have thought, O God, of Thy kindness, In the midst of Thy temple,+ 10As is Thy name, O God, so is Thy praise, Over the ends of the earth, Righteousness hath filled Thy right hand.+ 11Rejoice doth Mount Zion, The daughters of Judah are joyful, For the sake of Thy judgments.+ 12Compass Zion, and go round her, count her towers,+ 13Set your heart to her bulwark, Consider her high places, So that ye recount to a later generation,+ 14That this God is our God--To the age and for ever, He--he doth lead us over death!+
