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, lo, the kings were assembled,they passed by together.
5 They saw it, and so they marveled;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 Tarshishwith an east wind.
8 As we have heard, so have we seenin the city of the Lord of hosts,in the city of our God:God will establish it for ever. Selah.
