【May You See the Good of the Church All Your life】
1 For all your life may you see the good of the church.
Be root’d in God’s household.
Flourish in the church.
May they prosper who love You,
O’those who love the church.
O’ may the Lord bless you from His household.
2 For all your life may you see the good of the church.
O’God’s abode of rest is also my rest.
If I forget you, o’church, let me utter no word.
God’s most glorious purpose is my vision.
3 The church is God’s purpose, the hope of the world.
God’s most glorious purpose is my meaning of life.
The Lord has sent His church to accomplish His will.
May you desire the church for all your life,
Build His church, live out God’s family.
【Psalm 48:1-14】
A Song. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah.
1 Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised in the city of our God! His holy mountain,
2 beautiful in elevation, is the joy of all the earth, Mount Zion, in the far north, the city of the great King.
3 Within her citadels God has made himself known as a fortress.
4 For behold, the kings assembled; they came on together.
5 As soon as they saw it, they were astounded; they were in panic; they took to flight.
6 Trembling took hold of them there, anguish as of a woman in labor.
7 By the east wind you shattered the ships of Tarshish.
8 As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God, which God will establish forever. Selah
9 We have thought on your steadfast love, O God, in the midst of your temple.
10 As your name, O God, so your praise reaches to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is filled with righteousness.
11 Let Mount Zion be glad! Let the daughters of Judah rejoice because of your judgments!
12 Walk about Zion, go around her, number her towers,
13 consider well her ramparts, go through her citadels, that you may tell the next generation
14 that this is God, our God forever and ever. He will guide us forever.
