PSAL. XLVIII. A song, and psalm for the sons of Korah. (Book 48)
GReat is the Lord, and greatly Heis to be praised still,Within the City of our God,upon his holy hill.Mount Sion stands most beautifull,Line 2 the joy of all the land;The City of the mighty Kingon her north side doth stand.
The Lord, within her palaces,Line 3 is for a refuge known:For lo, the Kings that gathered wereLine 4 together by have gone.But, when they did behold the same,Line 5 they wondring, would not stay;But, being troubled at the sight,they thence did haste away.
Great terrour there took hold on them,Line 6 they were possess'd with fear,
descriptionPage 92
Their grief came like a womans pain,when she a childe doth bear.Thou Tarshish ships with east wind breaks;Line 7 As we have heard it told;Line 8 So in the City of the Lordour eyes did it behold,
In our Gods City, which his handfor ever stablish will.We, of thy loving kindnesse thought,Line 9 Lord, in thy Temple still.O Lord, according to thy Name,Line 10 through all the earth's thy praise:And thy right hand, O Lord, is fullof righteousnesse alwayes.
Because thy judgements are made known,Line 11 let Sion mount rejoyce;Of Judah let the daughters allsend forth a chearfull voice.Walk about Sion, and go round,Line 12 the high towrs thereof tell:Consider ye her palaces,Line 13 and mark her bulwarks well,
That ye may tell posteritie.For this God doth abideLine 14 Our God for evermore, he willev'n unto death us guide.
