| Chapter 48 |
1 |
A Song and Psalm for the sons of Korah. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness.
|
2 |
Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.
|
3 |
God is known in her palaces for a refuge.
|
4 |
For lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together.
|
5 |
They saw it, and so they wondered; they were troubled, and hasted away.
|
6 |
Fear took hold upon them there, and pain, as of a woman in travail.
|
7 |
Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.
|
8 |
As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. Selah.
|
9 |
We have thought of thy loving-kindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple.
|
10 |
According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise to the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.
|
11 |
Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments.
|
12 |
Walk about Zion, and go round her: number her towers.
|
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 to death.
