1 Great is Jehovah, 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 hath 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 hasted away.
         
                                
                        6 Trembling took hold of them there, Pain, as of a woman in travail.
         
                                
                        7 With the east wind Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish.
