ISV(i)
2 Beautifully situated, the joy of all the earth, Mount Zion towards the north, the city of the great King.
3 Within her citadels God is known as a place of refuge.
4 Behold, when the kings assembled together, when they traveled together,
5 they looked and were awestruck; they became afraid and ran away.
6 Trembling seized them there, pains like those of a woman in labor,
7 as when an east wind destroyed the ships of Tarshish.
8 Just as we have heard, so have we seen; in the city of the LORD of the heavenly armies— even in the city of our God— God will establish her forever. Interlude
