\d A psalm written by one of the descendants of Korah
|
|
\b
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 1 Yahweh is great, and he deserves to be greatly praised in the city where he lives,
|
|
\q2 which is built on Zion, his sacred hill.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 2 That city on a high hill is beautiful;
|
|
\q2 it is the city where the true God, the great king, lives,
|
|
\q2 and it causes people all over the world to rejoice when they see it.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 3 God is in the strong towers there,
|
|
\q2 and he shows that he protects the people in that city.
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 4 Many kings gathered with their armies to attack our city,
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 5 but when they saw it, they were amazed;
|
|
\q2 they became terrified, and ran away.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 6 Because they were very afraid, they trembled
|
|
\q2 like a woman who is about to give birth to a child.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 7 They shook as ships sailing from Tarshish shake in a strong wind.
|
|
\b
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 8 We had heard that this city was glorious,
|
|
\q1 and now we have seen that it is.
|
|
\q2 It is the city in which Yahweh, Commander of the angel armies, lives.
|
|
\q2 It is the city that God will preserve forever.
|
|
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 9 God, here in your temple we think about how you love us as you promised to do.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 10 People all over the earth will praise you
|
|
\q2 because you rule powerfully and justly.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 11 The people who live at Mount Zion should be happy!
|
|
\q1 The people in all the cities of Judah should rejoice
|
|
\q2 because you judge people fairly.
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 12 You Israelite people should walk around Mount Zion
|
|
\q2 and count the towers there;
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 13 notice the walls there and examine their strongest parts
|
|
\q2 so that you can tell your children about them.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 14 Say to your children, "This is the city of our God, the one who lives forever;
|
|
\q2 he will guide us during all of our lives."
