1. Great is the Lord and greatly to be praisedin the city of our God!His holy mountain,
2. beautiful in elevation,is the joy of all the earth,Mount Zion, in the far north, the city of the great King.
3. Within her citadels Godhas made himself known as a fortress.
4. For behold, the kings assembled;they came on together.
5. As soon as they saw it, they were astounded;they were in panic; they took to flight.
6. Trembling took hold of them there,anguish as of a woman in labor.
