1 Great is the Lord, and most worthy of praise,in the city of our God, his holy mountain.
2 Beautiful in its loftiness,the joy of the whole earth,like the heights of Zaphon is Mount Zion,the city of the Great King.
3 God is in her citadels;he has shown himself to be her fortress.
4 When the kings joined forces,when they advanced together,
5 they saw her and were astounded;they fled in terror.
6 Trembling seized them there,pain like that of a woman in labour.
