The Beauty and Glory of Zion.
A Song; a Psalm of the sons of Korah.
1 A1 Chr 16:25; Ps 96:4; 145:3Great is the Loʀᴅ, and greatly to be praised,
In the BPs 46:4city of our God, His CPs 2:6; 87:1; Is 2:3; Mic 4:1; Zech 8:3holy mountain.
Is Mount Zion in the far north,
The CMatt 5:35city of the great King.
3 God, in her palaces,
Has made Himself known as a APs 46:7stronghold.
4 For, lo, the A2 Sam 10:6-19kings assembled themselves,
They passed by together.
5 They saw it, then they were amazed;
They were AEx 15:15terrified, they 1Lit were hurried awayfled in alarm.
6 1Lit TremblingPanic seized them there,
Anguish, as of AIs 13:8a woman in childbirth.
7 With the AJer 18:17east wind
You B1 Kin 22:48break the C1 Kin 10:22; Ezek 27:25ships of Tarshish.
8 As we have heard, so have we seen
In the city of the Loʀᴅ of hosts, in the city of our God;
God will APs 87:5establish her forever. 1Selah may mean: Pause, Crescendo or Musical interludeSelah.
9 We have thought on APs 26:3; 40:10Your lovingkindness, O God,
In the midst of Your temple.
10 As is Your ADeut 28:58; Josh 7:9; Mal 1:11name, O God,
So is Your BPs 65:1, 2; 100:1praise to the ends of the earth;
Your CIs 41:10right hand is full of righteousness.
11 Let Mount APs 97:8Zion be glad,
Let the APs 97:8daughters of Judah rejoice
Because of Your judgments.
12 Walk about Zion and go around her;
Count her ANeh 3:1, 11, 25-27towers;
13 Consider her APs 122:7ramparts;
Go through her palaces,
That you may BPs 78:5-7tell it to the next generation.
14 For 1Lit thissuch is God,
Our God forever and ever;
He will APs 23:4; Is 58:11guide us 2Lit upon; some mss and the Gr read foreveruntil death.
