| 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 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. --
