2Great is the Lord, and exceedingly to be praised in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.
3With the joy of the whole earth is mount Sion founded, on the sides of the north, the city of the great king.
4In her houses shall God be known, when he shall protect her.
5For behold the kings of the earth assembled themselves: they gathered together.
6So they saw, and they wondered, they were troubled, they were moved:
7Trembling took hold of them. There were pains as of a woman in labour.
