The town is sung on the subdominant, the note that rests mid-verse in over 90% of the verses of the Hebrew Bible. Is this town at rest?

| the city of our God, his holy hill - sung here. |
| יְפֵ֥ה נוֹף֮ מְשׂ֪וֹשׂ כָּל־הָ֫אָ֥רֶץ הַר־צִ֭יּוֹן יַרְכְּתֵ֣י צָפ֑וֹן קִ֝רְיַ֗ת מֶ֣לֶךְ רָֽב |
3 Beautiful in elevation, the joy of all the earth, the hill of Zion, the flanks of the North, the town of a munificent king. | |
