Chapter 48 |
| 1 | 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
marvelled; 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 lovingkindness,
O God, in the midst of thy temple. |
| 10 | According to 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 rejoice, let the daughters of Judah
be glad, because of thy judgments. |
| 12 | Walk about Zion, and go round
about her: tell 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. |
