| 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. |
