Psalms 48:2-7

²That city, on a high hill, is beautiful; it is the city where the true God, the great king, lives, and it causes people all over the world to rejoice when they see it.

³God is in the strong towers there, and he shows that he protects the people in that city.

⁴Many kings gathered with their armies to attack that city,

⁵but when they saw it, they were amazed; they became terrified, and ran away.

⁶Because they were very afraid, they trembled like a woman who is about to give birth to a child;

⁷they shook like ships sailing from Tarshish are shaken by a strong wind.
