28. Psalm 48

Cry out and shout, thou inhabitants of Zion,
Cry out and shout, thou inhabitants of Zion,
For great is the Holy One, for great is the Holy One
For great is the Holy One in the midst of thee.
Beautiful for situation,
Beautiful for situation,
Beautiful for situation is Zion, joy of the earth.
Beautiful, Oh beautiful, beautiful is Zion, the joy of the earth.
Walk about Zion, and go around about her; tell her tow'rs, tell her tow'rs.
Mark well her bulwarks, consider her palaces, tell it to the generations following thee.
