| 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! |
