1 The Lord is great! He is praised throughout the city of our God, his holy mountain.
2 His city is such a pleasant place. It brings joy to people from around the world. Mount Zion is the true mountain of God. It is the city of the great King.
3 In the palaces of that city, God is known as the fortress.
4 Once some kings met together and planned an attack against this city. They marched toward the city,
5 but when they saw it, they were amazed. They all panicked and ran away.
6 Fear grabbed them; they trembled like a woman giving birth.
7 God, with a strong east wind, you wrecked their big ships.
