Metrical Psalms 1650

Psalms 48:1-5 Metrical Psalms 1650 (MP1650)

1. Great is the Lord, and greatly heis to be praised still,Within the city of our God,upon his holy hill.

2. Mount Sion stands most beautiful,the joy of all the land;The city of the mighty Kingon her north side doth stand.

3. The Lord within her palacesis for a refuge known.

4. For, lo, the kings that gather'd weretogether, by have gone.

5. But when they did behold the same,they, wond'ring, would not stay;But, being troubled at the sight,they thence did haste away.
