1 Great is the Lord and greatly to be praisedin the city of our God!His holy mountain,
2 beautiful in elevation,is the joy of all the earth,Mount Zion, in the far north, the city of the great King.
3 Within her citadels Godhas made himself known as a fortress.
4 For behold, the kings assembled;they came on together.
5 As soon as they saw it, they were astounded;they were in panic; they took to flight.
6 Trembling took hold of them there,anguish as of a woman in labor.
7 By the east wind you shatteredthe ships of Tarshish.
