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. |
