And ^(C3)the mountains slip into the heart of the ^(F1)sea;

Though the mountains quake at its swelling pride. Selah

The holy ^(C3)dwelling places of the Most High.

God will ^(C2)help her ^(F1)when morning dawns.

He ^(F2)(C2)raised His voice, the earth ^(C3)quaked.

⁷ The LORD of armies ^(C1)is with us;
The God of Jacob is ^(C2)our stronghold. Selah

⁸ Come, ^(C1)behold the works of the LORD,
^(F1)Who has inflicted ^(C2)horrific events on the earth.

⁹ He ^(C1)makes wars to cease to the end of the earth;
He ^(C2)breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two;
He ^(C3)burns the chariots with fire.

¹⁰ "^(F1)Stop striving and ^(C1)know that I am God;
I will be ^(C2)exalted among the ^(F2)nations, I will be exalted on the earth."

¹¹ The LORD of armies is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah

Chapter 48

The Beauty and Glory of Zion.

^1 (C1)Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised
In the ^(C2)city of our God, His ^(C3)holy mountain.

^2 (C1)Beautiful in elevation, ^(C2)the joy of the whole earth,
Is Mount Zion in the far north,
The ^(C3)city of the great King.

³ In its palaces,
God has made Himself known as a ^(C1)stronghold.

⁴ For, behold, the ^(C1)kings arrived,
They passed by together.

⁵ They saw it, then they were amazed;
They were ^(C1)terrified, they fled in a hurry.

^6 (F1)Panic seized them there,
Anguish, as that of ^(C1)a woman in childbirth.

⁷ With the ^(C1)east wind
You ^(C2)smash the ^(C3)ships of Tarshish.

⁸ Just as we have heard, so have we seen
In the city of the LORD of armies, in the city of our God;
God will ^(C1)establish her forever. Selah

⁹ We have thought over ^(C1)Your goodness, God,
In the midst of Your temple.

¹⁰ As is Your ^(C1)name, God,
So is Your ^(C2)praise to the ends of the earth;
Your ^(C3)right hand is full of righteousness.

¹¹ Mount ^(C1)Zion shall be glad,
The ^(C1)daughters of Judah shall rejoice
Because of Your judgments.

¹² Walk around Zion and encircle her;
Count her ^(C1)towers;

¹³ Consider her ^(C1)ramparts;
Go through her palaces,
So that you may ^(C2)tell of her to the next generation.

¹⁴ For ^(F1)such is God,
Our God forever and ever;
He will ^(C1)lead us ^(F2)until death.
