2 Beautiful in elevation,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 citadelsas a refuge.
4 For the kings were assembled,they passed by together.
5 They saw it, and so they were astounded;they were alarmed, they hurried away.
6 Trembling seized them there,and pain like a woman in labor;
7 You break 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 forever. Selah
