The Beauty and Glory of Zion |
| A Song and Psalm for the sons of Korah. |
|
| 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. Mt. 5.35 |
|
|
| 3 |
God is known in her palaces for a refuge.
|
| 4 |
For, lo, the kings were assembled,
|
| 5 |
They saw it, and so they marveled;
| | |
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
|
| 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 loving-kindness, 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:
|
| 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. |
|
