{A Song; a Psalm. Of the sons of Korah.} Great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the hill of his holiness.
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 palaces as a high fortress.
4
For behold, the kings assembled themselves, they passed by together;
5
They saw, -- so they marvelled; they were troubled, they fled in consternation:
6
Trembling took hold upon them there; anguish, as of a woman in travail.
7
With an east wind thou hast broken the ships of Tarshish.
8
As we have heard, so have we seen, in the city of Jehovah of hosts, in the city of our God: God doth establish it for ever. Selah.
