"Thus says the Lord, Heaven is My throne, and the earth
is My footstool. What kind of house would your build for Me?
And what can be My resting place?"
Isaiah 66:1
Great is the Lord and highly to be praised
in the city of our God! His holy mountain.
Fair and beautiful in elevation is the joy of all the earth- Mount Zion,
the City of David, to the northern side, Mount Moriah and the temple,
the whole city of the Great King!
God has made Himself known in her palaces
as a Refuge, a High Tower and a Stronghold.
For behold, the kings assembled, they came onward,
and they passed away together.
They looked, they were amazed; they were stricken with terror,
and took to flight, affrighted and dismayed.
Trembling took ahold of them there, and pains as of a
woman in childbirth.
With the east wind You shattered the ships of Tarshish.
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, and calmly think of that!
We have thought of Your steadfast love, O God,
in the midst of Your temple.
As is Your name, O God, so is Your praise to the ends of the earth;
Your right hand is full of righteousness, rightness and justice.
Let Mount Zion be glad! Let the daughters of Judah rejoice
because of Your righteous judgments!
Walk about Zion, and go round about her, number her towers,
her lofty and noble deeds of past days,
Consider well her ramparts, go through her palaces and citadels,
that you may tell the next generation and cease recalling disappointments.
For this God is our God forever and ever;
He will be our guide even until death.
Psalm 48
A psalm of the sons of Korah
Psalm 48 is a celebration of the security of Zion.
See the beauty of Zion as God's unconquerable fortress.
