O Jerusalem

Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to jerusalem: behold thy gods, o Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, o Judah and jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you.

And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, o Judah, and ye inhabitants of jerusalem; Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.

{A Psalm of Asaph.} o God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid jerusalem on heaps.

In the courts of the LORD'S house, in the midst of thee, o jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.

Our feet shall stand within thy gates, o jerusalem.

• Church

If I forget thee, o jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.

Remember, o LORD, the children of Edom in the day of jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.

Praise the LORD, o jerusalem; praise thy God, o Zion.

I am black, but comely, o ye daughters of jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.

I charge you, o ye daughters of jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please.

o Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; o jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God!

• Cup

Awake, awake, stand up, o jerusalem, which hast drunk at the hand of the LORD the cup of his fury; thou hast drunken the dregs of the cup of trembling, and wrung them out.

Awake, awake; put on thy strength, o Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, o jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.

Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, o jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, o captive daughter of Zion.

• Church

I have set watchmen upon thy walls, o jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence,

• Heart

o jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved. How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within thee?

o ye children of Benjamin, gather yourselves to flee out of the midst of jerusalem, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and set up a sign of fire in Bethhaccerem: for evil appeareth out of the north, and great destruction.

Be thou instructed, o jerusalem, lest my soul depart from thee; lest I make thee desolate, a land not inhabited.

Cut off thine hair, o jerusalem, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on high places; for the LORD hath rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.

For who shall have pity upon thee, o jerusalem? or who shall bemoan thee? or who shall go aside to ask how thou doest?

And say, Hear ye the word of the LORD, o kings of Judah, and inhabitants of jerusalem; Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, the which whosoever heareth, his ears shall tingle.

What thing shall I take to witness for thee? what thing shall I liken to thee, o daughter of jerusalem? what shall I equal to thee, that I may comfort thee, o virgin daughter of Zion? for thy breach is great like the sea: who can heal thee?

o Lord, righteousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion of faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, through all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee.

o Lord, according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee, let thine anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city jerusalem, thy holy mountain: because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, jerusalem and thy people are become a reproach to all that are about us.

And thou, o tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of jerusalem.

Rejoice greatly, o daughter of Zion; shout, o daughter of jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.

o jerusalem, jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

o jerusalem, jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!
