1 The Lord is great and highly praisedin the city of our God. His holy mountain,
2 rising splendidly,is the joy of the whole earth.Mount Zion on the slopes of the northis the city of the great King.
3 God is known as a strongholdin its citadels.
4 Look! The kings assembled;they advanced together.
5 They looked and froze with fear;they fled in terror.
6 Trembling seized them there,agony like that of a woman in labor,
7 as You wrecked the ships of Tarshishwith the east wind.
