A SongH7892 and PsalmH4210 for the sonsH1121 of KorahH7141. GreatH1419 is the LORDH3068, and greatlyH3966 to be praisedH1984 in the cityH5892 of our GodH430, in the mountainH2022 of his holinessH6944. {for: or, of}
BeautifulH3303 for situationH5131, the joyH4885 of the whole earthH776, is mountH2022 ZionH6726, on the sidesH3411 of the northH6828, the cityH7151 of the greatH7227 KingH4428.
GodH430 is knownH3045 in her palacesH759 for a refugeH4869.
For, lo, the kingsH4428 were assembledH3259, they passed byH5674 togetherH3162.
They sawH7200 it, and so they marvelledH8539; they were troubledH926, and hasted awayH2648.
FearH7461 took holdH270 upon them there, and painH2427, as of a woman in travailH3205.
Thou breakestH7665 the shipsH591 of TarshishH8659 with an eastH6921 windH7307.
As we have heardH8085, so have we seenH7200 in the cityH5892 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, in the cityH5892 of our GodH430: GodH430 will establishH3559 it forH5704 everH5769. SelahH5542.
We have thoughtH1819 of thy lovingkindnessH2617, O GodH430, in the midstH7130 of thy templeH1964.
According to thy nameH8034, O GodH430, so is thy praiseH8416 unto the endsH7099 of the earthH776: thy right handH3225 is fullH4390 of righteousnessH6664.
Let mountH2022 ZionH6726 rejoiceH8055, let the daughtersH1323 of JudahH3063 be gladH1523, because of thy judgmentsH4941.
Walk aboutH5437 ZionH6726, and go round aboutH5362 her: tellH5608 the towersH4026 thereof.
MarkH7896 ye wellH3820 her bulwarksH2430, considerH6448 her palacesH759; that ye may tellH5608 it to the generationH1755 followingH314. {Mark…: Heb. Set your heart to} {consider: or, raise up}
For this GodH430 is our GodH430 for everH5769 and everH5703: he will be our guideH5090 even unto deathH4192.
Querverweise zu Psalm 48,1 Ps 48,1
It came to pass after thisH310 also, that the childrenH1121 of MoabH4124, and the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and with them other beside the AmmonitesH5984, cameH935 against JehoshaphatH3092 to battleH4421.
Then there cameH935 some that toldH5046 JehoshaphatH3092, sayingH559, There comethH935 a greatH7227 multitudeH1995 against thee from beyondH5676 the seaH3220 on this side SyriaH758; and, behold, they be in HazazontamarH2688, which is EngediH5872.
And JehoshaphatH3092 fearedH3372, and setH5414 himselfH6440 to seekH1875 the LORDH3068, and proclaimedH7121 a fastH6685 throughoutH5921 all JudahH3063. {himself: Heb. his face}
And JudahH3063 gathered themselves togetherH6908, to askH1245 help of the LORDH3068: even out of all the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 they cameH935 to seekH1245 the LORDH3068.
And JehoshaphatH3092 stoodH5975 in the congregationH6951 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, beforeH6440 the newH2319 courtH2691,
And saidH559, O LORDH3068 GodH430 of our fathersH1, art not thou GodH430 in heavenH8064? and rulestH4910 not thou over all the kingdomsH4467 of the heathenH1471? and in thine handH3027 is there not powerH3581 and mightH1369, so that none is able to withstandH3320 thee?
Art not thou our GodH430, who didst drive outH3423 the inhabitantsH3427 of this landH776 beforeH6440 thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and gavestH5414 it to the seedH2233 of AbrahamH85 thy friendH157 for everH5769? {who: Heb. thou}
And they dweltH3427 therein, and have builtH1129 thee a sanctuaryH4720 therein for thy nameH8034, sayingH559,
If, when evilH7451 comethH935 upon us, as the swordH2719, judgmentH8196, or pestilenceH1698, or famineH7458, we standH5975 beforeH6440 this houseH1004, and in thy presenceH6440, (for thy nameH8034 is in this houseH1004,) and cryH2199 unto thee in our afflictionH6869, then thou wilt hearH8085 and helpH3467.
And now, behold, the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 and MoabH4124 and mountH2022 SeirH8165, whom thou wouldest not letH5414 IsraelH3478 invadeH935, when they came outH935 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, but they turnedH5493 from them, and destroyedH8045 them not;
Behold, I say, how they rewardH1580 us, to comeH935 to cast us outH1644 of thy possessionH3425, which thou hast given us to inheritH3423.
O our GodH430, wilt thou not judgeH8199 them? for we have no mightH3581 againstH6440 this greatH7227 companyH1995 that comethH935 against us; neither knowH3045 weH587 what to doH6213: but our eyesH5869 are upon thee.
And all JudahH3063 stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, withH1571 their little onesH2945, their wivesH802, and their childrenH1121.
Then upon JahazielH3166 the sonH1121 of ZechariahH2148, the sonH1121 of BenaiahH1141, the sonH1121 of JeielH3273, the sonH1121 of MattaniahH4983, a LeviteH3881 of the sonsH1121 of AsaphH623, came the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 in the midstH8432 of the congregationH6951;
And he saidH559, HearkenH7181 ye, all JudahH3063, and ye inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, and thou kingH4428 JehoshaphatH3092, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 unto you, Be not afraidH3372 nor dismayedH2865 by reasonH6440 of this greatH7227 multitudeH1995; for the battleH4421 is not yours, but God'sH430.
To morrowH4279 go ye downH3381 against them: behold, they come upH5927 by the cliffH4608 of ZizH6732; and ye shall findH4672 them at the endH5490 of the brookH5158, beforeH6440 the wildernessH4057 of JeruelH3385. {cliff: Heb. ascent} {brook: or, valley}
Ye shall not need to fightH3898 in thisH2063 battle: setH3320 yourselves, standH5975 ye still, and seeH7200 the salvationH3444 of the LORDH3068 with you, O JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389: fearH3372 not, nor be dismayedH2865; to morrowH4279 go outH3318 againstH6440 them: for the LORDH3068 will be with you.
And JehoshaphatH3092 bowedH6915 his head with his faceH639 to the groundH776: and all JudahH3063 and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 fellH5307 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, worshippingH7812 the LORDH3068.
And the LevitesH3881, of the childrenH1121 of the KohathitesH6956, and of the childrenH1121 of the KorhitesH7145, stood upH6965 to praiseH1984 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963 on highH4605.
And they rose earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and went forthH3318 into the wildernessH4057 of TekoaH8620: and as they went forthH3318, JehoshaphatH3092 stoodH5975 and saidH559, HearH8085 me, O JudahH3063, and ye inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389; BelieveH539 in the LORDH3068 your GodH430, so shall ye be establishedH539; believeH539 his prophetsH5030, so shall ye prosperH6743.
And when he had consultedH3289 with the peopleH5971, he appointedH5975 singersH7891 unto the LORDH3068, and that should praiseH1984 the beautyH1927 of holinessH6944, as they went outH3318 beforeH6440 the armyH2502, and to sayH559, PraiseH3034 the LORDH3068; for his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769. {that…: Heb. praisers}
And whenH6256 they beganH2490 to singH7440 and to praiseH8416, the LORDH3068 setH5414 ambushmentsH693 against the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, MoabH4124, and mountH2022 SeirH8165, which were comeH935 against JudahH3063; and they were smittenH5062. {And when…: Heb. And in the time that they, etc} {to sing…: Heb. in singing and praise} {they were…: or, they smote one another}
For the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 and MoabH4124 stood upH5975 against the inhabitantsH3427 of mountH2022 SeirH8165, utterly to slayH2763 and destroyH8045 them: and when they had made an endH3615 of the inhabitantsH3427 of SeirH8165, every oneH376 helpedH5826 to destroyH4889 anotherH7453. {to destroy: Heb. for the destruction}
And when JudahH3063 cameH935 toward the watch towerH4707+H4708 in the wildernessH4057, they lookedH6437 unto the multitudeH1995, and, behold, they were dead bodiesH6297 fallenH5307 to the earthH776, and none escapedH6413. {none…: Heb. there was not an escaping}
And when JehoshaphatH3092 and his peopleH5971 cameH935 to take awayH962 the spoilH7998 of them, they foundH4672 among them in abundanceH7230 both richesH7399 with the dead bodiesH6297, and preciousH2532 jewelsH3627, which they stripped offH5337 for themselves, more thanH369 they could carry awayH4853: and they were threeH7969 daysH3117 in gatheringH962 of the spoilH7998, it was so muchH7227.
And on the fourthH7243 dayH3117 they assembledH6950 themselves in the valleyH6010 of BerachahH1294; for there they blessedH1288 the LORDH3068: therefore the nameH8034 of the same placeH4725 was calledH7121, The valleyH6010 of BerachahH1294, unto this dayH3117. {Berachah: that is, blessing}
Then they returnedH7725, every manH376 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, and JehoshaphatH3092 in the forefrontH7218 of them, to go againH7725 to JerusalemH3389 with joyH8057; for the LORDH3068 had made them to rejoiceH8055 over their enemiesH341. {forefront: Heb. head}
And they cameH935 to JerusalemH3389 with psalteriesH5035 and harpsH3658 and trumpetsH2689 unto the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
And the fearH6343 of GodH430 was on all the kingdomsH4467 of those countriesH776, when they had heardH8085 that the LORDH3068 foughtH3898 against the enemiesH341 of IsraelH3478.
So the realmH4438 of JehoshaphatH3092 was quietH8252: for his GodH430 gave him restH5117 round aboutH5439.
And JehoshaphatH3092 reignedH4427 over JudahH3063: he was thirtyH7970 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 twentyH6242 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389. And his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was AzubahH5806 the daughterH1323 of ShilhiH7977.
And he walkedH3212 in the wayH1870 of AsaH609 his fatherH1, and departedH5493 not from it, doingH6213 that which was rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068.
Howbeit the high placesH1116 were not taken awayH5493: for as yet the peopleH5971 had not preparedH3559 their heartsH3824 unto the GodH430 of their fathersH1.
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of JehoshaphatH3092, firstH7223 and lastH314, behold, they are writtenH3789 in the bookH1697 of JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of HananiH2607, who is mentionedH5927 in the bookH5612 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478. {book of Jehu: Heb. words, etc} {is mentioned: Heb. was made to ascend}
And afterH310 this did JehoshaphatH3092 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 joinH2266 himself with AhaziahH274 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, who didH6213 very wickedlyH7561:
And he joinedH2266 himself with him to makeH6213 shipsH591 to goH3212 to TarshishH8659: and they madeH6213 the shipsH591 in EziongeberH6100.
Then EliezerH461 the sonH1121 of DodavahH1735 of MareshahH4762 prophesiedH5012 against JehoshaphatH3092, sayingH559, Because thou hast joinedH2266 thyself with AhaziahH274, the LORDH3068 hath brokenH6555 thy worksH4639. And the shipsH591 were brokenH7665, that they were not ableH6113 to goH3212 to TarshishH8659.
To the chief MusicianH5329 for the sonsH1121 of KorahH7141, A SongH7892 upon AlamothH5961. GodH430 is our refugeH4268 and strengthH5797, a veryH3966 presentH4672 helpH5833 in troubleH6869. {for: or, of}
MaschilH4905 of EthanH387 the EzrahiteH250. I will singH7891 of the merciesH2617 of the LORDH3068 for everH5769: with my mouthH6310 will I make knownH3045 thy faithfulnessH530 to allH1755 generationsH1755. {Maschil…: or, A Psalm for Ethan the Ezrahite, to give instruction} {to all…: Heb. to generation and generation}
For I have saidH559, MercyH2617 shall be built upH1129 for everH5769: thy faithfulnessH530 shalt thou establishH3559 in the very heavensH8064.
I have madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with my chosenH972, I have swornH7650 unto DavidH1732 my servantH5650,
Thy seedH2233 will I establishH3559 forH5704 everH5769, and build upH1129 thy throneH3678 to allH1755 generationsH1755. SelahH5542.
And the heavensH8064 shall praiseH3034 thy wondersH6382, O LORDH3068: thy faithfulnessH530 also in the congregationH6951 of the saintsH6918.
For who in the heavenH7834 can be comparedH6186 unto the LORDH3068? who among the sonsH1121 of the mightyH410 can be likenedH1819 unto the LORDH3068?
GodH410 is greatlyH7227 to be fearedH6206 in the assemblyH5475 of the saintsH6918, and to be had in reverenceH3372 of all them that are aboutH5439 him.
There is a riverH5104, the streamsH6388 whereof shall make gladH8055 the cityH5892 of GodH430, the holyH6918 place of the tabernaclesH4908 of the most HighH5945.
GodH430 reignethH4427 over the heathenH1471: GodH430 sittethH3427 upon the throneH3678 of his holinessH6944.
A PsalmH4210 and SongH7892 at the dedicationH2598 of the houseH1004 of DavidH1732. I will extolH7311 thee, O LORDH3068; for thou hast lifted me upH1802, and hast not made my foesH341 to rejoiceH8055 over me.
Then the LevitesH3881, JeshuaH3442, and KadmielH6934, BaniH1137, HashabniahH2813, SherebiahH8274, HodijahH1941, ShebaniahH7645, and PethahiahH6611, saidH559, Stand upH6965 and blessH1288 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 for everH5769 and everH5769: and blessedH1288 be thy gloriousH3519 nameH8034, which is exaltedH7311 above all blessingH1293 and praiseH8416.
To the chief MusicianH5329, A PsalmH4210 and SongH7892 of DavidH1732. PraiseH8416 waitethH1747 for thee, O GodH430, in SionH6726: and unto thee shall the vowH5088 be performedH7999. {waiteth: Heb. is silent}
ExaltH7311 the LORDH3068 our GodH430, and worshipH7812 at his holyH6944 hillH2022; for the LORDH3068 our GodH430 is holyH6918.
The king'sH4428 strengthH5797 also lovethH157 judgmentH4941; thou dost establishH3559 equityH4339, thou executestH6213 judgmentH4941 and righteousnessH6666 in JacobH3290.
AndG2532 they singG103 the songG5603 of MosesG3475 the servantG1401 of GodG2316, andG2532 the songG5603 of the LambG721, sayingG3004, GreatG3173 andG2532 marvellousG2298 are thyG4675 worksG2041, LordG2962 GodG2316 AlmightyG3841; justG1342 andG2532 trueG228 are thyG4675 waysG3598, thou KingG935 of saintsG40. {saints: or, nations, or, ages}
And it shall come to pass in the lastH319 daysH3117, that the mountainH2022 of the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004 shall be establishedH3559 in the topH7218 of the mountainsH2022, and shall be exaltedH5375 above the hillsH1389; and all nationsH1471 shall flowH5102 unto it. {established: or, prepared}
GreatH1419 is the LORDH3068, and greatlyH3966 to be praisedH1984; and his greatnessH1420 is unsearchableH2714. {and his…: Heb. and of his greatness there is no search}
WhoG5101 shallG5399 notG3364 fearG5399 theeG4571, O LordG2962, andG2532 glorifyG1392 thyG4675 nameG3686? forG3754 thou onlyG3441 art holyG3741: forG3754 allG3956 nationsG1484 shall comeG2240 andG2532 worshipG4352 beforeG1799 theeG4675; forG3754 thyG4675 judgmentsG1345 are made manifestG5319.
And manyH7227 peopleH5971 shall goH1980 and sayH559, ComeH3212 ye, and let us go upH5927 to the mountainH2022 of the LORDH3068, to the houseH1004 of the GodH430 of JacobH3290; and he will teachH3384 us of his waysH1870, and we will walkH3212 in his pathsH734: for out of ZionH6726 shall go forthH3318 the lawH8451, and the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 from JerusalemH3389.
GreatH1419 is our LordH113, and of greatH7227 powerH3581: his understandingH8394 is infiniteH4557. {his…: Heb. of his understanding there is no number}
AndG2532 a voiceG5456 cameG1831 out ofG1537 the throneG2362, sayingG3004, PraiseG134 ourG2257 GodG2316, all yeG3956 hisG846 servantsG1401, andG2532 ye that fearG5399 himG846, bothG2532 smallG3398 andG2532 greatG3173.
ButG235 ye are comeG4334 unto mountG3735 SionG4622, andG2532 unto the cityG4172 of the livingG2198 GodG2316, the heavenlyG2032 JerusalemG2419, andG2532 to an innumerable companyG3461 of angelsG32,
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that the greatH1419 trumpetH7782 shall be blownH8628, and they shall comeH935 which were ready to perishH6 in the landH776 of AssyriaH804, and the outcastsH5080 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and shall worshipH7812 the LORDH3068 in the holyH6944 mountH2022 at JerusalemH3389.
AndG2532 IG1473 JohnG2491 sawG1492 the holyG40 cityG4172, newG2537 JerusalemG2419, coming downG2597 fromG575 GodG2316 out ofG1537 heavenG3772, preparedG2090 asG5613 a brideG3565 adornedG2885 for herG846 husbandG435.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; As yet they shall useH559 this speechH1697 in the landH776 of JudahH3063 and in the citiesH5892 thereof, when I shall bring againH7725 their captivityH7622; The LORDH3068 blessH1288 thee, O habitationH5116 of justiceH6664, and mountainH2022 of holinessH6944.
AndG2532 he carriedG667 meG3165 awayG667 inG1722 the spiritG4151 toG1909 a greatG3173 andG2532 highG5308 mountainG3735, andG2532 shewedG1166 meG3427 that greatG3173 cityG4172, the holyG40 JerusalemG2419, descendingG2597 out ofG1537 heavenG3772 fromG575 GodG2316,
HavingG2192 the gloryG1391 of GodG2316: andG2532 herG846 lightG5458 was likeG3664 unto a stoneG3037 most preciousG5093, even likeG5613 a jasperG2393 stoneG3037, clear as crystalG2929;
AndG5037 hadG2192 a wallG5038 greatG3173 andG2532 highG5308, and hadG2192 twelveG1427 gatesG4440, andG2532 atG1909 the gatesG4440 twelveG1427 angelsG32, andG2532 namesG3686 written thereonG1924, whichG3739 areG2076 the names of the twelveG1427 tribesG5443 of the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474:
OnG575 the eastG395 threeG5140 gatesG4440; onG575 the northG1005 threeG5140 gatesG4440; onG575 the southG3558 threeG5140 gatesG4440; andG2532 onG575 the westG1424 threeG5140 gatesG4440.
AndG2532 the wallG5038 of the cityG4172 hadG2192 twelveG1427 foundationsG2310, andG2532 inG1722 themG846 the namesG3686 of the twelveG1427 apostlesG652 of the LambG721.
AndG2532 he that talkedG2980 withG3326 meG1700 hadG2192 a goldenG5552 reedG2563 toG2443 measureG3354 the cityG4172, andG2532 the gatesG4440 thereofG846, andG2532 the wallG5038 thereofG846.
AndG2532 the cityG4172 liethG2749 foursquareG5068, andG2532 the lengthG3372+G846 isG2076 as largeG5118 asG3745+G2532 the breadthG4114: andG2532 he measuredG3354 the cityG4172 with the reedG2563+G1909, twelveG1427 thousandG5505 furlongsG4712.
