Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Psalm 48
² Beautiful in elevation, The joy of the whole earth, Is Mount Zion on the sides of the north, The city of the great King.
³ God is in her palaces; He is known as her refuge.
⁴ For behold, the kings assembled, They passed by together.
⁵ They saw it, and so they marveled; They were troubled, they hastened away.
⁶ Fear took hold of them there, And pain, as of a woman in birth pangs,
⁷ As when You break the ships of Tarshish With an east wind.
⁸ 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
⁹ We have thought, O God, on Your lovingkindness, In the midst of Your temple.
¹⁰ According to 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 rejoice, Let the daughters of Judah be glad, Because of Your judgments.
¹² Walk about Zion, And go all around her. Count her towers;
