| 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!
