Psalms

¹ God majestic, praise abounds in our God-city! His sacred mountain,

² Zion Mountain looms in the North, city of the world-King.

³ impregnable.

⁴ they united and came.

⁵ they scattered and ran away.

⁶ like a woman having a baby.

⁷ with a storm out of the East.

⁸ with our eyes— In God's city of angel armies, in the city our God Set on firm foundations, firm forever.

⁹ waiting in your temple:

¹⁰ of Hallelujahs wherever It is spoken, near and far; your arms are heaped with goodness-in-action.

¹¹ Dance, Judah's daughters! He does what he said he'd do!

¹² count her fortress peaks,

¹³ climb her citadel heights— Then you can tell the next generation detail by detail the story of God,

¹⁴ who guides us till the end of time.
