¹歌一首，可拉子孙的诗。在我们　神的城中，在他的圣山上，耶和华是至大的，应该大受赞美。

¹A Song, a Psalm, by sons of Korah. Great [is] Jehovah, and praised greatly, In the city of our God — His holy hill.

²在北面的锡安山、大君王的城，美丽高耸，是全地所喜欢的。

²Beautiful [for] elevation, A joy of all the land, [is] Mount Zion, The sides of the north, the city of a great king.

³　神在城的堡垒中，显明自己是避难所。

³God in her high places is known for a tower.

⁴看哪！列王会合，一同前进。

⁴For, lo, the kings met, they passed by together,

⁵他们一见这城，就惊惶，慌忙逃跑。

⁵They have seen — so they have marvelled, They have been troubled, they were hastened away.

⁶他们在那里战栗恐惧；他们痛苦好像妇人分娩时一样。

⁶Trembling hath seized them there, Pain, as of a travailing woman.

⁷你用东风摧毁他施的船队。

⁷By an east wind Thou shiverest ships of Tarshish.

⁸在万军之耶和华的城中，就是在我们　神的城中，我们所看见的，正如我们所听见的：　神必坚立这城，直到永远。（细拉）

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.

⁹　神啊！我们在你的殿中，想念你的慈爱。

⁹We have thought, O God, of Thy kindness, In the midst of Thy temple,

¹⁰　神啊！你受的赞美，就像你的名一样，达到地极；你的右手满了公义。

¹⁰As [is] Thy name, O God, so [is] Thy praise, Over the ends of the earth, Righteousness hath filled Thy right hand.

¹¹因你的审判，锡安山应当欢喜，犹大的居民（“居民”原文作“女子”）应当快乐。

¹¹Rejoice doth Mount Zion, The daughters of Judah are joyful, For the sake of Thy judgments.

¹²你们要在锡安四处巡行，绕城一周，数点城楼，

¹²Compass Zion, and go round her, count her towers,

¹³细察它的外墙，巡视它的堡垒，使你们可以述说给后代的人听。

¹³Set your heart to her bulwark, Consider her high places, So that ye recount to a later generation,

¹⁴因为这位　神就是我们的　神，直到永永远远；他必引导我们，直到我们死的时候。

¹⁴That this God [is] our God — To the age and for ever, He — he doth lead us over death!
