A song or Psalme committed to the sonnes of Korah. Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praysed, in the Citie of our God, euen vpon his holy Mountaine. Psa 145:3; Heb 12:22; Rev 14:1Mount Zion, lying Northwarde, is faire in situation: it is the ioy of the whole earth, and the Citie of the great King. Ezk 40:2In the palaces thereof God is knowen for a refuge. 2Ch 20:8; Zec 8:3; Mal 1:14For lo, the Kings were gathered, and went together. When they sawe it, they marueiled: they were astonied, and suddenly driuen backe. 2Ki 19:35Feare came there vpon them, and sorowe, as vpon a woman in trauaile. 2Ki 19:3; Isa 21:3As with an East winde thou breakest the shippes of Tarshish, so were they destroyed. Isa 27:8As we haue heard, so haue we seene in the citie of the Lord of hostes, in the Citie of our God: God will stablish it for euer. Selah. We waite for thy louing kindnes, O God, in the middes of thy Temple. O God, according vnto thy Name, so is thy prayse vnto the worlds end: thy right hand is full of righteousnes. 2Ki 19:15; Act 19:17Let mount Zion reioyce, and the daughters of Iudah be glad, because of thy iudgements. Compasse about Zion, and goe round about it, and tell the towres thereof. Marke well the wall thereof: beholde her towres, that ye may tell your posteritie. For this God is our God for euer and euer: he shall be our guide vnto the death.Isa 25:9
