Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives

Psalm 48

Psa. 48:0   A Song; a Psalm of the sons of Korah.

Psa. 48:1    Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised, 

In the city of our God, His holy mountain.

²  Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, 

Is Mount Zion in the far north, 

The city of the great King.

³  God, in her palaces, 

Has made Himself known as a stronghold.

Psa. 48:4    For, lo, the kings assembled themselves, 

They passed by together.

⁵  They saw it, then they were amazed; 

They were terrified, they fled in alarm.

⁶  Panic seized them there, 

Anguish, as of a woman in childbirth.

⁷  With the east wind 

You break 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 her forever. Selah.

Psa. 48:9    We have thought on Your lovingkindness, O God, 

In the midst of Your temple.

¹⁰  As is 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 be glad, 

Let the daughters of Judah rejoice 

Because of Your judgments.

¹²  Walk about Zion and go around her; 

Count her towers;

¹³  Consider her ramparts; 

Go through her palaces, 

That you may tell it to the next generation.

¹⁴  For such is God, 

Our God forever and ever; 

He will guide us until death.

The Dead Sea from Masada

Adonai,
From everlasting to everlasting, You remain the same. Immutable. Immortal. Invincible. Immanent. Incomparable. Mighty, conquering Creator King. You established Your throne in the heavens. Your sovereignty rules over all. How great and glorious is Your beautiful Name. Yahweh. Covenant God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Your promises are unfailing, revealing the magnitude of Your glorious grace. Your purposes are unthwartable. All that You plan, You do. You reign from age to age, clothed in majesty and splendor in Your holy, heavenly temple, watching over Your Word to fulfill it. Your people who are called by Your good and glorious Name rest secure under the shelter of Your outstretched wing. Blessed is Your Name throughout the heavens and earth. Blessed is He Who comes in the name of the LORD.  In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
