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.
7 You destroyed them like ships of Tarshishshattered by an east wind.
8 As we have heard,so we have seenin the city of the Lord Almighty,in the city of our God:God makes her securefor ever.
9 Within your temple, O God,we meditate on your unfailing love.
