2Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.
3God is known in her palaces as a high fortress.
4For behold, the kings assembled themselves, they passed by together;
5They saw, — so they marvelled; they were troubled, they fled in consternation:
6Trembling took hold upon them there; anguish, as of a woman in travail.
