- Great is the LORD, and most worthy of praise, in the city of our God, his holy mountain.
- It is beautiful in its loftiness, the joy of the whole earth. Like the utmost heights of Zaphon is Mount Zion, the city of the Great King.
- God is in her citadels; he has shown himself to be her fortress.
- When the kings joined forces, when they advanced together,
- they saw her and were astounded; they fled in terror.

- Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised, In the city of our God, His holy mountain.
- Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, Is Mount Zion in the far north, The city of the great King.
- God, in her palaces, Has made Himself known as a stronghold.
- For, lo, the kings assembled themselves, They passed by together.
- They saw it, then they were amazed; They were terrified, they fled in alarm.

- Trembling seized them there, pain like that of a woman in labor.
- You destroyed them like ships of Tarshish shattered by an east wind.
- As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD Almighty, in the city of our God: God makes her secure forever. Selah

- Panic seized them there, Anguish, as of a woman in childbirth.
- With the east wind You break the ships of Tarshish.
- As we have heard, so have we seen In the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God; God will establish her forever. Selah.
