Great is JEHOVAH! greatly He
Hymnal: The Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs of the Old and New Testament, faithully translated into English metre #PXLVIII (1758) Lyrics: 1 Great is JEHOVAH! greatly He
Is to be prais'd on high
Within the city of our God,
his mount of sanctity.
2 How beauteously mount Zion stands?
her northern sides how fair?
She is the joy of all the earth'
the great King's city there!
3 GOD in her palaces is known
to be a refuge high.
4 For lo, the kings assembled were,
but pass'd together by.
5 They saw, and so they marvelled,
they dare not near her stay;
But troubled and affrighted were,
and hast'ned fast away.
6 Yea then such terror seiz'd on them,
such painful agonies,
As when a lab'ring woman when
her pangs upon her seize.
7 As when Thou raisest eastern storms
on the tumultuous sea,
Thou didst the ships of Tarshish break
and drive our foes away.

8 In city of the LORD of hosts,
we see, as we were told
In our God's city, that our GOD
will ever her uphold. (Selah)
9 O GOD our tho'ts are oft employ'd
on thy beningity:
But most of all when we are in
thy house of sanctity.
10 For as thy name, O GOD, so thro'
the earth extends thy praise;
And thy right hand we know is full
of righteousness always.
11 O let mount Zion joyful be,
and Judah's daughters glad;
Because of all thy judgments now,
so wondrously display'd
12 Walk forth and compass Zion round,
and all about her go;
Her stately tow'rs distinctly count
and all their numbers know.
13 Attentively her bulwarks mark,
her palaces view well:
That to the age to come ye may
her strength and beauty tell.
14 Because this GOD is our's; our God
For evermore is he;
Therefore our never-failing guide,
He ev'n to death will be. Scripture: Psalm 48 Languages: English

Is to be praised still:
Within the city of our God,
Within his holy hill.
2 Mount Sion's fairly situate,
The joy of th' earth so wide:
The city of the mighty king
Is on the northern side.
3 God in her palaces is known
To be a refuge high:
4 For lo, the kings assembled were,
they past together by.
5 They saw, and so they marvelled,
They greatly troubled were:
They also hasted fast away,
6 Fear fell upon them there:
As on a woman travailing,
They such a pain did find.
7 In pieces thou the Tarshish ships
Didst break with eastern wind.

8 I' th' city of the Lord of hosts,
We saw as we heard say:
I' th' city of our God, God will
Establish it for aye.
9 O God our thoughts have been upon
Thy free beningity:
And that within the middest of
Thy house of sanctity.
10 According to thy name, O God,
So is thy praise unto
Th' ends of the earth, thy right hand's full
Of righteousness also.
11 O let mount Sion joyful be,
And triumph let them make:
They that of Judah daughters are,
Ev'n for thy judgments sake.
12 About the hill of Sion walk,
And go about her ye:
And do ye recon up thereof
The tow'rs that therein be.
13 Do ye full well her bulwarks mark,
Her palaces view well:
That to the generation
To come, ye may it tell.
14 Because this God, he is our God
For ever and for aye;
And he will be a guide to us,
Ev'n to our dying day. Scripture: Psalm 48 Languages: English
