Metrical Psalms 1650

Psalms 48:4-14 Metrical Psalms 1650 (MP1650)

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.

6. Great terror there took hold on them;they were possess'd with fear;Their grief came like a woman's pain,when she a child doth bear.

7. Thou Tarshish ships with east wind break'st:

8. As we have heard it told,So, in the city of the Lord,our eyes did it behold;In our God's city, which his handfor ever stablish will.

9. We of thy loving-kindness thought,Lord, in thy temple still.

10. O Lord, according to thy name,through all the earth's thy praise;And thy right hand, O Lord, is fullof righteousness always.

11. Because thy judgments are made known,let Sion mount rejoice;Of Judah let the daughters allsend forth a cheerful voice.

12. Walk about Sion,and go round; the high tow'rs thereof tell:

13. Consider ye her palaces,and mark her bulwarks well;That ye may tell posterity.

14. For this God doth abideOur God for evermore; he willev'n unto death us guide.
