2 The Lord is great and exceedingly praiseworthy, in the city of our God, on his holy mountain.
3 Mount Zion is being founded with the exultation of the whole earth, on the north side, the city of the great king.
4 In her houses, God will be known, since he will support her.
5 For behold, the kings of the earth have been gathered together; they have convened as one.
6 Such did they see, and they were astonished: they were disturbed, they were moved.
7 Trembling took hold of them. In that place, their pains were that of a woman in labor.
8 With a vehement spirit, you will crush the ships of Tarshish.
