Broken shackles

A SONG. A PSALM OF THE SONS OF KORAH. Great [is] YHWH, and greatly praised, || In the city of our God—His holy hill.
2
Beautiful [for] elevation, || A joy of all the land, [is] Mount Zion, || The sides of the north, the city of [the] great King.
3
God is known for a tower in her high places.
4
For behold, the kings met, they passed by together,
5
They have seen—so they have marveled, || They have been troubled, they were hurried away.
6
Trembling has seized them there, || Pain, as of a travailing woman.
7
By an east wind You shatter ships of Tarshish.
8
As we have heard, so we have seen, || In the city of YHWH of hosts, || In the city of our God, God establishes her for all time. Selah.
9
We have thought, O God, of Your kindness, || In the midst of Your temple,
10
As [is] Your Name, O God, so [is] Your praise, || Over the ends of the earth, || Righteousness has filled Your right hand.
11
Mount Zion rejoices, || The daughters of Judah are joyful, || For the sake of Your judgments.
12
Surround Zion, and go around her, count her towers,
13
Set your heart to her bulwark, || Consider her high places, || So that you recount to a later generation,
14
That this God [is] our God—For all time and forever, || He leads us over death!
