Psalms:48
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Great is the LORD ,
and greatly to be praised In the city of our God ,
In His holy mountain .
*
Beautiful in elevation ,
The joy of the whole earth ,
Is Mount Zion on the sides of the north ,
The city of the great King .
*
God is in her palaces ;
He is known as her refuge .
*
For behold ,
the kings assembled ,
They passed by together .
*
They saw it ,
and so they marveled ;
They were troubled ,
they hastened away .
*
Fear took hold of them there ,
And pain ,
as of a woman in birth pangs ,
*
As when You break the ships of Tarshish With an east wind .
*
As we have heard ,
So we have seen In the city of the LORD of hosts ,
In the city of our God :
God will establish it forever .
Selah (
pause )
*
We have thought ,
O God ,
on Your lovingkindness ,
In the midst of Your temple .
*
According to Your name ,
O God ,
So is Your praise to the ends of the earth ;
Your right hand is full of righteousness .
*
Let Mount Zion rejoice ,
Let the daughters of Judah be glad ,
Because of Your judgments .
*
Walk about Zion ,
And go all around her .
Count her towers ;
*
Mark well her bulwarks ;
Consider her palaces ;
That you may tell it to the generation following .
*
For this is God ,
Our God forever and ever ;
He will be our guide Even to death .
