4. The kings gathered togetherand came to attack Mount Zion.
5. But when they saw it, they were amazed;they were afraid and ran away.
6. There they were seized with fear and anguish,like a woman about to bear a child,
7. like ships tossing in a furious storm.
8. We have heard what God has done,and now we have seen itin the city of our God, the Lord Almighty;he will keep the city safe for ever.
9. Inside your Temple, O God,we think of your constant love.
10. You are praised by people everywhere,and your fame extends over all the earth.You rule with justice;
11. let the people of Zion be glad!You give right judgements;let there be joy in the cities of Judah!
