1 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised, in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.
2 Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion, in the far north, the city of the great King.
3 God has shown himself in her citadels as a refuge.
4 For, behold, the kings assembled themselves, they passed by together.
5 They saw it, then they were amazed. They were dismayed. They hurried away.
6 Trembling took hold of them there, pain, as of a woman in travail.
7 With the east wind, you break the ships of Tarshish.
8 As we have heard, so we have seen, in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God. God will establish it forever. Selah.
