7
ThomsonSince God is king of the whole earth; O sing praises with understanding,
BrentonTrembling took hold on them: there were the pangs as of a woman in travail.

BrentonAs we have heard, so have we also seen, in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God: God has founded it for ever. Pause.
GreekΚαθάπερ ἠκούσαμεν, οὕτως καὶ εἴδομεν, ἐν πόλει Κυρίου τῶν δυνάμεων, ἐν πόλει τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν, ὁ Θεὸς ἐθεμελίωσεν αὐτὴν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα· διάψαλμα.
10

BrentonAccording to thy name, O God, so is also thy praise to the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.

GreekΚυκλώσατε Σιὼν, καὶ περιλάβετε αὐτὴν, διηγήσασθε ἐν τοῖς πύργοις αὐτῆς.
14
Thomson—
BrentonMark ye well her strength, and observe her palaces; that ye may tell the next generation.
GreekΘέσθε τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν εἰς τὴν δύναμιν αὐτῆς, καὶ καταδιέλεσθε τὰς βάρεις αὐτῆς, ὅπως ἂν διηγήσησθε εἰς γενεὰν ἑτέραν.
