^2 (A)Beautiful in elevation, ^(B)the joy of the whole earth,
Is Mount Zion in the far north,
The ^(C)city of the great King.

¹⁵ All who pass along the way
^(A)Clap their hands in derision at you;
They ^(B)hiss and shake their heads
At the daughter of Jerusalem,
“Is this the city of which they said,
‘^(C)The perfection of beauty,
^(D)A joy to all the earth’?”
