Psalm 48Zion Exalted
|
|
|
|
1. The Lord is great and highly praised
|
|
in the city of our God.
|
|
His holy mountain,
|
|
2. rising splendidly,
|
|
is the joy of the whole earth.
|
|
Mount Zion--the summit of Zaphon--
|
|
is the city of the great King.
|
|
|
|
3. God is known as a stronghold
|
|
in its citadels.
|
|
|
|
4. Look! The kings assembled;
|
|
they advanced together.
|
|
|
|
5. They looked and froze with fear;
|
|
they fled in terror.
|
|
|
|
6. Trembling seized them there,
|
|
agony like that of a woman in labor,
|
|
|
|
7. as you wrecked the ships of Tarshish
|
|
with the east wind.
|
|
|
|
8. Just as we heard, so we have seen
|
|
in
|
|
the city of the Lord of Armies,
|
|
in the city of our God;
|
|
God will establish it forever.Selah
|
|
|
|
9. God, within your temple,
|
|
we contemplate your faithful love.
|
|
|
|
10. Like your name, God, so your praise
|
|
reaches to the ends of the earth;
|
|
your right hand is filled with justice.
|
|
|
|
11. Mount Zion is glad.
|
|
Judah's villages rejoice
|
|
because of your judgments.
|
|
|
|
12. Go around Zion, encircle it;
|
|
count its towers,
|
|
|
|
13. note its ramparts; tour its citadels
|
|
so that you can tell a future generation:
|
|
|
|
14. "This God, our God forever and ever--
|
|
he will always lead us."
