Chapter 48

1


 

  A Song, a Psalm, by sons of Korah. Great [is] Jehovah, and praised greatly, In the city of our God -- His holy hill.  

 

 

--

2


 

  Beautiful [for] elevation, A joy of all the land, [is] Mount Zion, The sides of the north, the city of a great king.  

 

 

--

3


 

  God in her high places is known for a tower.  

 

 

--

4


 

  For, lo, the kings met, they passed by together,  

 

 

--

5


 

  They have seen -- so they have marvelled, They have been troubled, they were hastened away.  

 

 

--

6


 

  Trembling hath seized them there, Pain, as of a travailing woman.  

 

 

--

7


 

  By an east wind Thou shiverest ships of Tarshish.  

 

 

--

8


 

  As we have heard, so we have seen, In the city of Jehovah of hosts, In the city of our God, God doth establish her -- to the age. Selah.  

 

 

--

9


 

  We have thought, O God, of Thy kindness, In the midst of Thy temple,  

 

 

--

10


 

  As [is] Thy name, O God, so [is] Thy praise, Over the ends of the earth, Righteousness hath filled Thy right hand.  

 

 

--

11


 

  Rejoice doth Mount Zion, The daughters of Judah are joyful, For the sake of Thy judgments.  

 

 

--

12


 

  Compass Zion, and go round her, count her towers,  

 

 

--

13


 

  Set your heart to her bulwark, Consider her high places, So that ye recount to a later generation,  

 

 

--

14


 

  That this God [is] our God -- To the age and for ever, He -- he doth lead us over death!  

 

 

--
