2 Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised, in the town of our God, in his holy mountain.
3 Beautiful in its high position, the joy of all the earth, is the mountain of Zion, the mountain of God, the town of the great King.
4 In its buildings God is seen to be a high tower.
5 For see! the kings came together by agreement, they were joined together.
6 They saw it, and so were full of wonder; they were troubled, and went quickly away in fear.
7 Shaking came on them and pain, as on a woman in childbirth.
8 By you the ships of Tarshish are broken as by an east wind.
