The Epiphany of the Lord

 
Psalm 48
 
The Lord is Great and worthy to be praised
in the city of our God.
His holy mountain rises in beauty,
the joy of all the earth.
 
Mount Zion, true pole of the earth,
the Great King's City!
God, in the midst of its citadels,
has shown himself its stronghold.
 
For the kings assembled together,
together they advanced.
They saw; at once they were astounded.
A trembling seized them there,
like the pangs of birth.
 
As we have heard, so we have seen
in the city of our God,
in the city of the Lord of hosts
which God upholds for ever.
 
O God, we ponder your love
within your tremble.
Your praise, O God, like your name
reaches to the ends of the earth.
