* Psalm 48
Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised
in the city of our God, in the mountain of HIS holiness. Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great KING.
*****
God is known in her palaces for a refuge.
For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together. They saw it, and so they marvelled;
they were troubled, and hasted away. Fear took hold upon them there, and pain, as of a woman in travail.
*****
THOU breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.
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 it for ever.
Rev. 21:1-5 ... the apostle John says:
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
And I heard A GREAT VOICE out of heaven saying,
Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and HE will dwell with them, and they shall be HIS people, and God HIMSELF shall be with them, and be their God.
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
And HE that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.
*****
We have thought of THY lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of THY temple.
According to THY name, O God, so is THY praise unto the ends of the earth:
THY right hand is full of righteousness.
*****
Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of THY judgments.
Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers thereof. Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following.
For this God is our God for ever and ever:
HE will be our guide even unto death.
