A song, a psalm for the sons of Korah
48
📚✭✭Great is the LORD,and greatly to be
praised in the city of our God,
in his holy mountain.
2 📚Beautiful for elevation,
the joy of the whole earth,
is mount Zion,
on the sides of the north,
the city of the great King.
3 📚God is known in her palaces
as a refuge.
4 📚For, see, the kings assembled,
they passed by together.
5 📚They saw it and so
they marvelled;
they were troubled and
hurried away.
6 📚Fear took hold on them there,
and pain like that of a woman
in childbirth.
7 📚You broke them like the ships
of Tarshish,
broken by an east wind.
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 forever. Selah
9 📚✭We have thought of
your loving kindness,
O God, within your temple.
10 📚According to your name,
O God,
so is your praise
to the ends of the earth.
Your right hand is full
of righteousness.
11 📚Let mount Zion rejoice.
Let the daughters of Judah
be glad,
because of your judgments.
12 📚✭Walk about Zion, and go
around her.
Count her towers.
13 📚Set your eyes well
on her bulwarks.
Consider her palaces,
so that you may tell it
to the following generation.
14 📚✭For this God is our God
forever and ever.
He will be our guide✭ even
to death.
