The City of God

1 The Lord God is wonderful!

He deserves all praise

in the city where he lives.

beautiful and majestic,

brings joy to all on earth.

Mount Zion, truly sacred,

is home for the Great King.

and has proved to be

its protector.

4 Kings joined forces

to attack the city,

and now we have seen it

in the city of our God,

with your powerful arm.

11 Mount Zion will celebrate,

and all Judah will be glad,

because you bring justice.

12 Let's walk around Zion

and count its towers.

13 We will see its strong walls

and visit each fortress.

Then you can say

to future generations,

and will always
