PSALM 48, by OLD TESTAMENT BIBLE First Line: He that hath eternall being Last Line: Us till death forsaking never. | |||
He that hath Eternall being Glorious is and glorious showes In the citty he hath chose Where stands his holy hill Hill, Sion hill of fairest seeing Citty of the King most great Seated in a Northly seat All Climes with joy doth fill In each pallace she contayneth God a well known rock remayneth. One day Kings a day appoynted There with joyned force to be See they it? The things they see Amaze their mated minds Flying, trembling, disappoynted So they feare, and so they fare As the Wife whose wofull care The pangs of childbed finds Right as shipps from Tarshish going Crusht with blasts of Eurus blowing Now our sight hath matcht our hearing In what state Gods Citty stands How supported by his hands God ever holds the same In Thy Temples midst appearing Wee thy favour Lord attend Righteous Lord both free from end Thy fame doth match Thy Name Thy just hand brings Sion gladness Turns to mirth all Judas sadness. Compasse Sion in her standing Tell her Towers mark her forts Note with care the stately ports Her Royall houses beare For that Ages understanding Which shall come, when We shall go Gladd in former time to know How many, what they were For God is Our God for ever Us till death forsaking never. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PSALM 121 by OLD TESTAMENT BIBLE PSALM 136 by OLD TESTAMENT BIBLE PSALM 139 by OLD TESTAMENT BIBLE PSALM 8.
