Great Is The Lord And Greatly To Be Praised, Psalms 48-50.

Psalm 49:1-3, 15-17 Psalm 48:1-3, 8-10 Psalm 50:1, 3, 6-7, 16, 19-2

Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised In the city of our God, In His holy mountain. Hear this, all peoples; Give ear, all inhabitants of the world, The Mighty One, God the Lord, Has spoken and called the earth From the rising of the sun to its going down. Beautiful in elevation, The joy of the whole earth, Is Mount Zion on the sides of the north, The city of the great King. Both low and high, Rich and poor together. God is in her palaces; He is known as her refuge. My mouth shall speak wisdom, And the meditation of my heart shall give understanding. Our God shall come, and shall not keep silent; A fire shall devour before Him, And it shall be very tempestuous all around Him. Let the heavens declare His righteousness, For God Himself is Judge. Selah “Hear, O My people, and I will speak, O Israel, and I will testify against you; I am God, your God! As we have heard, So we have seen In the city of the Lord of hosts, In the city of our God: God will establish it forever. Selah We have thought, O God, on Your lovingkindness, In the midst of Your temple. According to Your name, O God, So is Your praise to the ends of the earth; Your right hand is full of righteousness. But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave, For He shall receive me. Selah Do not be afraid when one becomes rich, When the glory of his house is increased; But to the wicked God says: “What right have you to declare My statutes, Or take My covenant in your mouth, For when he dies he shall carry nothing away; His glory shall not descend after him. You give your mouth to evil, And your tongue frames deceit. You sit and speak against your brother; You slander your own mother’s son.
