| Chapter 48 |
1 |
Great is Yahweh, 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 north sides, The city of the great King.
|
3 |
God has shown himself in her citadels as a refuge.
|
4 |
For, behold, the kings assembled themselves, They passed by together.
|
5 |
They saw it, then were they amazed. They were dismayed, They hurried away.
|
6 |
Trembling took hold of them there, Pain, as of a woman in travail.
|
7 |
With the east wind, you break the ships of Tarshish.
|
8 |
As we have heard, so have we seen, In the city of Yahweh of Hosts, in the city of our God. God will establish it forever. Selah.
|
9 |
We have thought about your lovingkindness, God, In the midst of your temple.
|
10 |
As is your name, God, So is your praise to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is full of righteousness.
|
11 |
Let Mount Zion be glad! Let the daughters of Judah rejoice, Because of your judgments.
|
12 |
Walk about Zion, and go around her. Number the towers of it;
|
13 |
Mark well her bulwarks. Consider her palaces, That you may tell it to the next generation.
|
14 |
For this God is our God forever and ever. He will be our guide even to death. Psalm 49 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.
