A song. A psalm of the sons of Korah.The Lord is great and highly praised
in the city of our God.
His holy mountain, rising splendidly,
is the joy of the whole earth.
Mount Zion on the slopes of the north
is the city of the great King.
God is known as a stronghold
in its citadels.

There is a river—
its streams delight the city of God,
the holy dwelling place of the Most High.
God is within her; she will not be toppled.
God will help her when the morning dawns.

For he was looking forward to the city that has foundations, whose architect and builder is God.

I also saw the Holy City, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.

But they now desire a better place—a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.

Some wandered in the desolate wilderness,
finding no way to a city where they could live.

He led them by the right path
to go to a city where they could live.

He causes the hungry to settle there,
and they establish a city where they can live.

On that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah:

We have a strong city.
Salvation is established as walls and ramparts.

In visions of God He took me to the land of Israel and set me down on a very high mountain. On its southern slope was a structure resembling a city.

For we do not have an enduring city here; instead, we seek the one to come.
