Verse 2 is found in chapter 48 of Psalms. Psalm 48 portrays Zion as the city of the great King and as a place of divine protection. The greatness of the city comes not merely from its structures, but from the presence of the Lord within it. Enemy kings retreat when they see it, while the community remembers God’s actions within the temple. The conclusion invites this memory to be transmitted to future generations so they may know the Lord’s faithfulness.

Groß ist der HERR und hochberühmt in der Stadt unsers Gottes, auf seinem heiligen Berge.
Hermosa provincia, el gozo de toda la tierra Es el monte de Sion, a los lados del aquilón, La ciudad del gran Rey.
Hermoso en su elevación, alegría de toda la tierra, es el monte Sión, en los confines del norte, la ciudad del gran Rey.
Belle est la colline, joie de toute la terre, la montagne de Sion; Le côté septentrional, c'est la ville du grand roi.
Il monte di Sion, il fondo verso il Settentrione, La Città del gran Re È in bella contrada, è la gioia di tutta la terra.
Formoso de sítio, e alegria de toda a terra é o monte Sião sobre os lados do norte, a cidade do grande Rei.
錫安山 -大君王的城, 在北面居高華美, 為全地所喜悅。
