I forgot to include the lovely Psalm 48 from today’s post.

It goes with the history in 2 Kings and 2 Chronicles so well!

 I thought I MUST write it in a “PS” post.

Psalm 48.

Great is the LORD and greatly to be praised in the city of our God!
His holy mountain, beautiful in elevation, is the joy of all the earth.
Mount Zion, in the far north, is the city of the great King.
Within her citadels, God has made Himself known as a fortress.

We have thought on Your steadfast love, O God, in the midst of Your temple.
As Your Name, O God, so Your praise reaches to the ends of the earth.
Your right hand is filled with righteousness. Let Mount Zion be glad!
Let the daughters of Judah rejoice because of Your judgments!

Walk about Zion, go around her, number her towers.
Consider well her ramparts. Go through her citadels,
That you may tell the next generation that this is God.
Our God, forever and ever. He will guide us forever!
