In the midst of Your temple.

Let the daughters of Judah be glad,
Because of Your judgments.

Walk about Zion,
And go all around her.
Count her towers;

Mark well her bulwarks;
Consider her palaces;
That you may tell it to the generation following.

For this is God,
Our God forever and ever;
He will be our guide
Even to death (Forever).
