1 Great is LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.
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 has made himself known in her palaces for a refuge.
4 For, lo, the kings assembled themselves. They passed by together.
5 They saw it, then were they amazed. They were dismayed, they hastened away.
6 Trembling took hold of them there, pain, as of a woman in travail.
7 With the east wind thou break the ships of Tarshish.
8 As we have heard, so we have seen in the city of LORD of hosts, in the city of our God, God will establish it forever. Selah.
