Broken Bondage A song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. 1Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, 2Beautiful in loftiness, the joy of all the earth, like the peaks of Zaphona is Mount Zion, 3God is in her citadels; He has shown Himself to be a fortress. 4For behold, the kings assembled; 5They saw and were astounded; 6Trembling seized them there, anguish like a woman in labor. 7With a wind from the east You wrecked the ships of Tarshish.b 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. 9Within Your temple, O God, we contemplate Your loving devotion. 10Your name, O God, like Your praise, reaches to the ends of the earth; Your right hand is full of righteousness. 11Mount Zion is glad, the daughtersc of Judah rejoice, 12March around Zion, encircle her, 13consider her ramparts, tour her citadels, that you may tell the next generation. 14For this God is our God forever and ever; He will be our guide even till death.d Footnotes: 2 a Or in the far north ; the most sacred mountain of the Canaanites was Zaphon 7 b Or a fleet of trading ships 11 c Or the villages 14 d Or He will guide us beyond death The Holy Bible, Berean Standard Bible, BSB is produced in cooperation with Bible Hub, Discovery Bible, OpenBible.com, and the Berean Bible Translation Committee.
