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 in her palaces;He is known as her refuge.
4 For behold, the kings assembled,They passed by together.
5 They saw it, and so they marveled;They were troubled, they hastened away.
6 Fear took hold of them there,And pain, as of a woman in birth pangs,
7 As when You break the ships of TarshishWith an east wind.
8 As we have heard,So we have seenIn the city of the Lord of hosts,In the city of our God:God will establish it forever.Selah
