Psalm 48:1-14
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.
The Fourth Commandment
You are to honor your father and your mother.
What is this? Answer:
We are to fear and love God, so that we neither despise nor
anger our parents and others in authority, but instead honor, serve, obey,
love, and respect them.
The Fifth Commandment
You are not to kill.
What is this? Answer:
We are to fear and love God, so that we neither endanger nor
harm the lives of our neighbors, but instead help and support them in all of
life’s needs.
O God, the protector of all who trust in You, have mercy on
us that with You as our ruler and guide we may so pass through things temporal
that we lose not the things eternal; through Jesus Christ, Your Son our Lord,
who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Amen.
