2 Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.
3 God is known in her palaces for a refuge.
4 For, behold, the kings were assembled, they passed by together.
5 They saw it, and so they marvelled; they were troubled and hasted away.
6 Fear took hold upon them there and pain as of a woman in travail.
7 Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.
8 As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the Lord of the hosts, in the city of our God; God will establish it for ever. Selah.
