Faith in the Lord’s Righteousness

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

In the Lord I put my trust; How can you say to my soul, “Flee as a bird to your mountain”?

Lord, by Your favor You have made my mountain stand strong; You hid Your face, and I was troubled.

Your righteousness is like the great mountains; Your judgments are a great deep; O Lord, You preserve man and beast.

Therefore we will not fear, Even though the earth be removed, And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;

Though its waters roar and be troubled, Though the mountains shake with its swelling. Selah

The Glory of God in Zion

A Song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.

Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised In the city of our God, In His holy mountain.

I know all the birds of the mountains, And the wild beasts of the field are Mine.

Who established the mountains by His strength, Being clothed with power;

A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan; A mountain of many peaks is the mountain of Bashan.

Why do you fume with envy, you mountains of many peaks? This is the mountain which God desires to dwell in; Yes, the Lord will dwell in it forever.

The mountains will bring peace to the people, And the little hills, by righteousness.

There will be an abundance of grain in the earth, On the top of the mountains; Its fruit shall wave like Lebanon; And those of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.

You are more glorious and excellent Than the mountains of prey.

And He brought them to His holy border, This mountain which His right hand had acquired.

As the fire burns the woods, And as the flame sets the mountains on fire,

The Glories of the City of God

A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A Song.

His foundation is in the holy mountains.

Before the mountains were brought forth, Or ever You had formed the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.

The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

You covered it with the deep as with a garment; The waters stood above the mountains.

They went up over the mountains; They went down into the valleys, To the place which You founded for them.

The mountains skipped like rams, The little hills like lambs.

O mountains, that you skipped like rams? O little hills, like lambs?

As the mountains surround Jerusalem, So the Lord surrounds His people From this time forth and forever.

It is like the dew of Hermon, Descending upon the mountains of Zion; For there the Lord commanded the blessing— Life forevermore.

Bow down Your heavens, O Lord, and come down; Touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
