2 Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion, in the far north, the city of the great king.
3 God is in her citadels; he is known as a high stronghold.
4 For see, the kings assembled; they advanced together.
5 They themselves saw it, so they were astonished. They were terrified; they ran off.
6 Trembling seized them there— pain as of a woman in labor.
7 With an east wind you shatter the ships of Tarshish.
8 As we have heard, so we have seen in the city of Yahweh of hosts, in the city of our God. God will establish her forever. Selah
