Psalm 48:6-8
The Voice

6 They were overtaken by terror, trembling in anguish
    like a woman in childbirth.
7 God, You shattered the ships of Tarshish
    with the mighty east wind.
8 As we have heard stories of Your greatness,
    now we have also seen it with our own eyes
    right here, in the city of the Eternal, the Commander of heavenly armies.
Right here, in our God’s city,
    the True God will preserve her forever.

in the city of the Lord Almighty,
