1. The Lord is great; he should be praisedin the city of our God, on his holy mountain.
2. It is high and beautifuland brings joy to the whole world.Mount Zion is like the high mountains of the north;it is the city of the Great King.
3. God is within its palaces;he is known as its defender.
4. Kings joined togetherand came to attack the city.
5. But when they saw it, they were amazed.They ran away in fear.
6. Fear took hold of them;they hurt like a woman having a baby.
7. You destroyed the large trading shipswith an east wind.
