Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following.

But unto the place which the LORD your God shall choose out of all your tribes to put his name there, even unto his habitation shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come:

But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved.

And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which he hath established for ever.

God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.

They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.

The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shields, nor cast a bank against it.

Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;

It was round about eighteen thousand measures: and the name of the city from that day shall be, The LORD is there.

And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
