2Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth,
is Mount Zion,c in the far north,d
the city of the great king.
3God is in her citadels;
he is known as a high stronghold.
4For see, the kings assembled;e
they advanced together.
5They themselves sawf it, so they were astonished.
They were terrified; they ran off.

ESVEnglish Standard Version
beautiful in elevation,
is the joy of all the earth,
Mount Zion, in the far north,
the city of the great King.
Within her citadels God
has made himself known as a fortress.
For behold, the kings assembled;
they came on together.
As soon as they saw it, they were astounded;
they were in panic; they took to flight.

NIVNew International Version (2011)
Beautiful in its loftiness,
the joy of the whole earth,
like the heights of Zaphon is Mount Zion,
the city of the Great King.
God is in her citadels;
he has shown himself to be her fortress.
When the kings joined forces,
when they advanced together,
they saw her and were astounded;
they fled in terror.

CSBChristian Standard Bible
rising splendidly,
is the joy of the whole earth.
Mount Zion—the summit of Zaphon—
is the city of the great King.
God is known as a stronghold
in its citadels.
Look! The kings assembled;
they advanced together.
They looked and froze with fear;
they fled in terror.

NLTNew Living Translation
It is high and magnificent;
the whole earth rejoices to see it!
Mount Zion, the holy mountain,
is the city of the great King!
God himself is in Jerusalem’s towers,
revealing himself as its defender.
The kings of the earth joined forces
and advanced against the city.
But when they saw it, they were stunned;
they were terrified and ran away.

KJV 1900King James Version
Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion,
On the sides of the north, the city of the great King.
God is known in her palaces for a refuge.
For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together.
They saw it, and so they marvelled;
They were troubled, and hasted away.
