1A Psalm of praise for the sons of Korah on the second day of the week.
2Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised In the city of our God, in his holy mountain.
3The city of the great King Is well planted on the mountains of Zion, With the joy of the whole earth, on the sides of the north.
4God is known in her palaces, When he undertakes to help her.
5For, behold, the kings of the earth were assembled, They came together.
6They saw, and so they wondered: They were troubled, they were moved.
7Trembling took hold on them: There were the pangs as of a woman in travail.
8Thou wilt break the ships of Tarshish with a vehement wind.
