7 You destroyed them like ships of Tarshish

shattered by an east wind.

8 As we have heard,

so we have seen

in the city of the Lord Almighty,

in the city of our God:

God makes her secure

forever.

9 Within your temple, O God,

we meditate on your unfailing love.

7 By the east wind you shattered

the ships of Tarshish.

8 As we have heard, so have we seen

in the city of the Lord of hosts,

in the city of our God,

which God will establish forever. Selah

9 We have thought on your steadfast love, O God,

in the midst of your temple.

7 Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.

8 As we have heard, so have we seen

In the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God:

God will establish it for ever. Selah.

9 We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God,

In the midst of thy temple.

7 You destroyed them like the mighty ships of Tarshish

shattered by a powerful east wind.

8 We had heard of the city’s glory,

but now we have seen it ourselves—

the city of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.

It is the city of our God;

he will make it safe forever.

9 O God, we meditate on your unfailing love

as we worship in your Temple.

7 You destroyed the large trading ships

with an east wind.

8 First we heard

and now we have seen

that God will always keep his city safe.

It is the city of the Lord All-Powerful,

the city of our God.

Selah

9 God, we come into your Temple

to think about your love.

7 With the east wind

Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish.

God will establish it for ever. Selah

7 With the east wind you smash the ships of Tarshish. 

8 The things we had only heard about, we have now seen 

in the city of the Lord of Armies, 

in the city of our God. 

God makes Zion stand firm forever. 

Selah 

9 Inside your temple we carefully reflect on your mercy, O God. 

7 as You wrecked the ships of Tarshish

in the city of Yahweh of Hosts,

in the city of our God;

God will establish it forever. Selah

which God establishes forever. Selah

We have heard and seen that God makes her secure forever. Selah
