Psalms 48 : 1 - 14
Chapter 48
1 | Great is the LORD, 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 is in her palaces; He is known as her refuge.
|
4 | For behold, the kings assembled, They passed by together.
|
5 | They saw it, and so they marveled; They were troubled, they hastened away.
|
6 | Fear took hold of them there, And pain, as of a woman in birth pangs,
|
7 | As when You break the ships of Tarshish With an east wind.
|
8 | As we have heard, So we have seen In the city of the LORD of hosts, In the city of our God: God will establish it forever.Selah
|
9 | We have thought, O God, on Your lovingkindness, In the midst of Your temple.
|
10 | According to Your name, O God, So is Your praise to the ends of the earth; Your right hand is full of righteousness.
|
11 | Let Mount Zion rejoice, Let the daughters of Judah be glad, Because of Your judgments.
|
12 | Walk about Zion, And go all around her. Count her towers;
|
13 | Mark well her bulwarks; Consider her palaces; That you may tell it to the generation following.
|
14 | For this is God, Our God forever and ever; He will be our guide Even to death.
