Psalm 48
Great is the Lord, and the most worthy of praise,
in the city of our God, his holy mountain.
It is beautiful in its loftiness,
the joy of the whole earth.
Like the utmost heights of Zaphon is Mount Zion,
the city of the Great King.
God is in her citadels;
he has shown himself to be her
fortress.
When the kings joined forces,
when they advanced together,
they saw her and were astounded;
they fled in terror.
Trembling seized them there,
pain like that of a woman in labor.
You destroyed them like ships of Tarshih
shattered by an east wind.
As we have heard,
so have we seen in the city of the Lord Almighty,
in the city of our God:
God makes her secure forever.
Within your temple, O God,
we meditate on your unfailing love.
Like your name, O God,
your praise reaches to the ends of the earth;
your right hand is filled with righteousness.
Mount Zion rejoices,
the villages of Judah are glad because of your judgments.
Walk about Zion, go around her,
count her towers,
consider well her ramparts, view her citadels,
that you may tell of them to the next
generation.
For this God is our God for ever and ever;
he will be our guide even to the end.
A good friend led me to this Psalm last night, which spoke to my heart in many ways. I love the view of the city and the presence our God has in it. My heart beats wildly for the city, He has blessed me with a desire and passion for the city.
This Psalm also speaks to my heart about who God is and His love for me. He is continually opening my eyes to all I need is Him. The truth that my security is found only in Him. That He is my true love and that He delights in me.
Beautiful.
I hope you enjoy this Psalm and experience the Father’s love for you, in a new way today.
