Consider her ramparts,

Go through her palaces,

That you may tell the next generation [about her glory].

We will not hide them from their children,

But [we will] tell to the generation to come the praiseworthy deeds of the LORD,

And [tell of] His great might and power and the wonderful works that He has done.

Let this be recorded for the generation to come,

That a people yet to be created will praise the LORD.

Strength and dignity are her clothing and her position is strong and secure;

And she smiles at the future [knowing that she and her family are prepared].

Nor also of the later things that are to come;

There will be for them no remembrance

By generations who will come after them.

In earlier times He treated the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali with contempt, but later on He will make them honored [by the presence of the Messiah], by the way of the sea, on the other side of Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles.

Calling forth [and guiding the destinies of] the generations [of the nations] from the beginning?

And I will drive it into a parched and desolate land,

With its forward guard into the eastern sea (Dead Sea)

And with its rear guard into the western sea (Mediterranean Sea).

And its stench will arise and its foul odor of decay will come up [this is the fate of the northern army in the final day of the LORD],

For [fn]He has done great things.”
