Leeser⁽ⁱ⁾ ² ^(48:3) A beautiful district, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, the farthest north, the city of the great King. ³ ^(48:4) God is become known in her palaces as a defence. ⁴ ^(48:5) For, lo, the kings were assembled, they are passed away together. ⁵ ^(48:6) They indeed saw—and so they were astonished; they were terrified, they were confounded. ⁶ ^(48:7) Trembling seized on them there, pain, as on a woman in travail. ⁷ ^(48:8) With the east wind thou breakest the ships of Tharshish. ⁸ ^(48:9) As we have heard, so have we seen it in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. Selah.
