| Chapter 48 |
1 |
A Song; a Psalm of the sons of Korah. Great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised, In the city of our God, in his holy mountain.
|
2 |
Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, Is mount Zion, [on] the sides of the north, The city of the great King.
|
3 |
God hath made himself known in her palaces for a refuge.
|
4 |
For, lo, the kings assembled themselves, They passed by together.
|
5 |
They saw it, then were they amazed; They were dismayed, they hasted away.
|
6 |
Trembling took hold of them there, Pain, as of a woman in travail.
|
7 |
With the east wind Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish.
|
8 |
As we have heard, so have we seen In the city of Jehovah of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. Selah
|
9 |
We have thought on thy lovingkindness, O God, In the midst of thy temple.
|
10 |
As is thy name, O God, So is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: Thy right hand is full of righteousness.
|
11 |
Let mount Zion be glad, Let the daughters of Judah rejoice, Because of thy judgments.
|
12 |
Walk about Zion, and go round about her; Number the towers thereof;
|
13 |
Mark ye well her bulwarks; Consider her palaces: That ye may tell it to the generation following.
|
14 |
For this God is our God for ever and ever: He will be our guide [even] unto death.
