2 ^obeautiful in elevation,

is ^pthe joy of all the earth,

Mount Zion, in the far north,

^qthe city of the great King.

2  Out of Zion, ^qthe perfection of beauty,

^rGod shines forth.

15  All who pass along the way

clap their hands at you;

^fthey hiss and wag their heads

at the daughter of Jerusalem:

“Is this the city that was called

^gthe perfection of beauty,

^gthe joy of all the earth?”
