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