⁴ There is a river^(M) whose streams^(N) make glad the city of God,^(O)
    the holy place where the Most High^(P) dwells.^(Q)
5 God is within her,^(R) she will not fall;^(S)
    God will help^(T) her at break of day.
⁶ Nations^(U) are in uproar,^(V) kingdoms^(W) fall;
    he lifts his voice,^(X) the earth melts.^(Y)

⁷ The Lord Almighty^(Z) is with us;^(AA)
    the God of Jacob^(AB) is our fortress.^(AC)

⁸ Come and see what the Lord has done,^(AD)
    the desolations^(AE) he has brought on the earth.
⁹ He makes wars^(AF) cease
    to the ends of the earth.
He breaks the bow^(AG) and shatters the spear;
    he burns the shields^[d] with fire.^(AH)
10 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;^(AI)
    I will be exalted^(AJ) among the nations,
    I will be exalted in the earth.”

¹¹ The Lord Almighty is with us;
    the God of Jacob^(AK) is our fortress.^(AL)

² For the Lord Most High^(AO) is awesome,^(AP)
    the great King^(AQ) over all the earth.
³ He subdued^(AR) nations under us,
    peoples under our feet.
⁴ He chose our inheritance^(AS) for us,
    the pride of Jacob,^(AT) whom he loved.^[f]

⁵ God has ascended^(AU) amid shouts of joy,^(AV)
    the Lord amid the sounding of trumpets.^(AW)
6 Sing praises^(AX) to God, sing praises;
    sing praises to our King, sing praises.
⁷ For God is the King of all the earth;^(AY)
    sing to him a psalm^(AZ) of praise.

⁸ God reigns^(BA) over the nations;
    God is seated on his holy throne.^(BB)
9 The nobles of the nations assemble
    as the people of the God of Abraham,
for the kings^[g] of the earth belong to God;^(BC)
    he is greatly exalted.^(BD)

² Beautiful^(BI) in its loftiness,
    the joy of the whole earth,
like the heights of Zaphon^[i](BJ) is Mount Zion,^(BK)
    the city of the Great King.^(BL)
3 God is in her citadels;^(BM)
    he has shown himself to be her fortress.^(BN)

⁴ When the kings joined forces,
    when they advanced together,^(BO)
5 they saw her and were astounded;
    they fled in terror.^(BP)
6 Trembling seized^(BQ) them there,
    pain like that of a woman in labor.^(BR)
7 You destroyed them like ships of Tarshish^(BS)
    shattered by an east wind.^(BT)

⁸ As we have heard,
    so we have seen
in the city of the Lord Almighty,
    in the city of our God:
God makes her secure
    forever.^[j](BU)

⁹ Within your temple, O God,
    we meditate^(BV) on your unfailing love.^(BW)
10 Like your name,^(BX) O God,
    your praise reaches to the ends of the earth;^(BY)
    your right hand is filled with righteousness.
¹¹ Mount Zion rejoices,
    the villages of Judah are glad
    because of your judgments.^(BZ)

¹² Walk about Zion, go around her,
    count her towers,^(CA)
13 consider well her ramparts,^(CB)
    view her citadels,^(CC)
that you may tell of them
    to the next generation.^(CD)

¹⁴ For this God is our God for ever and ever;
    he will be our guide^(CE) even to the end.

⁵ Come and see what God has done,
    his awesome deeds^(H) for mankind!
⁶ He turned the sea into dry land,^(I)
    they passed through^(J) the waters on foot—
    come, let us rejoice^(K) in him.
⁷ He rules forever^(L) by his power,
    his eyes watch^(M) the nations—
    let not the rebellious^(N) rise up against him.

⁸ Praise^(O) our God, all peoples,
    let the sound of his praise be heard;
⁹ he has preserved our lives^(P)
    and kept our feet from slipping.^(Q)
10 For you, God, tested^(R) us;
    you refined us like silver.^(S)
11 You brought us into prison^(T)
    and laid burdens^(U) on our backs.
¹² You let people ride over our heads;^(V)
    we went through fire and water,
    but you brought us to a place of abundance.^(W)

¹³ I will come to your temple with burnt offerings^(X)
    and fulfill my vows^(Y) to you—
¹⁴ vows my lips promised and my mouth spoke
    when I was in trouble.
¹⁵ I will sacrifice fat animals to you
    and an offering of rams;
    I will offer bulls and goats.^(Z)

¹⁶ Come and hear,^(AA) all you who fear God;
    let me tell^(AB) you what he has done for me.
¹⁷ I cried out to him with my mouth;
    his praise was on my tongue.
¹⁸ If I had cherished sin in my heart,
    the Lord would not have listened;^(AC)
19 but God has surely listened
    and has heard^(AD) my prayer.
²⁰ Praise be to God,
    who has not rejected^(AE) my prayer
    or withheld his love from me!

² You say, “I choose the appointed time;^(C)
    it is I who judge with equity.^(D)
3 When the earth and all its people quake,^(E)
    it is I who hold its pillars^(F) firm.^[b]
4 To the arrogant^(G) I say, ‘Boast no more,’^(H)
    and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horns.^[c](I)
5 Do not lift your horns against heaven;
    do not speak so defiantly.^(J)’”

⁶ No one from the east or the west
    or from the desert can exalt themselves.
⁷ It is God who judges:^(K)
    He brings one down, he exalts another.^(L)
8 In the hand of the Lord is a cup
    full of foaming wine mixed^(M) with spices;
he pours it out, and all the wicked of the earth
    drink it down to its very dregs.^(N)

⁹ As for me, I will declare^(O) this forever;
    I will sing^(P) praise to the God of Jacob,^(Q)
10 who says, “I will cut off the horns of all the wicked,
    but the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.”^(R)

⁴ You are radiant with light,^(F)
    more majestic than mountains rich with game.
⁵ The valiant^(G) lie plundered,
    they sleep their last sleep;^(H)
not one of the warriors
    can lift his hands.
⁶ At your rebuke,^(I) God of Jacob,
    both horse and chariot^(J) lie still.

⁷ It is you alone who are to be feared.^(K)
    Who can stand^(L) before you when you are angry?^(M)
8 From heaven you pronounced judgment,
    and the land feared^(N) and was quiet—
⁹ when you, God, rose up to judge,^(O)
    to save all the afflicted^(P) of the land.
¹⁰ Surely your wrath against mankind brings you praise,^(Q)
    and the survivors of your wrath are restrained.^[c]

¹¹ Make vows to the Lord your God and fulfill them;^(R)
    let all the neighboring lands
    bring gifts^(S) to the One to be feared.
¹² He breaks the spirit of rulers;
    he is feared by the kings of the earth.

³ Glorious things are said of you,
    city of God:^[a](C)
4 “I will record Rahab^[b](D) and Babylon
    among those who acknowledge me—
Philistia^(E) too, and Tyre^(F), along with Cush^[c]—
    and will say, ‘This one was born in Zion.’”^[d](G)
5 Indeed, of Zion it will be said,
    “This one and that one were born in her,
    and the Most High himself will establish her.”
⁶ The Lord will write in the register^(H) of the peoples:
    “This one was born in Zion.”

⁷ As they make music^(I) they will sing,
    “All my fountains^(J) are in you.”
