On the holy mountain
stands the city founded by the LORD.
He loves the city of Jerusalem
more than any other city in Israel.
O city of God,
what glorious things are said of you!O city of God, what glorious things are said of you!
Psalm 46:4
A river brings joy to the city of our God,
the sacred home of the Most High. (see all Psalm 46)
Psalm 48:8
We had heard of the city's glory,
but now we have seen it ourselves--
the city of the LORD of Heaven's Armies.
It is the city of our God;
he will make it safe forever. (see all Psalm 48)
Psalm 76:1-4
God is honored in Judah;
his name is great in Israel.
Jerusalem is where he lives;
Mount Zion is his home.
There he has broken the fiery arrows of the enemy,
the shields and swords and weapons of war.
You are glorious and more majestic
than the everlasting mountains. (see all Psalm 76)
Isaiah 60:1-3
"Arise, Jerusalem! Let your light shine for all to see.
For the glory of the LORD rises to shine on you.
Darkness as black as night covers all the nations of the earth,
but the glory of the LORD rises and appears over you.
All nations will come to your light;
mighty kings will come to see your radiance."
Isaiah 60:13-14
"The glory of Lebanon will be yours--
the forests of cypress, fir, and pine--
to beautify my sanctuary.
My Temple will be glorious!
The descendants of your tormentors
will come and bow before you.
Those who despised you
will kiss your feet.
They will call you the City of the LORD,
and Zion of the Holy One of Israel." (see all chapter 60)
