Did you realise tweet opening is as the magnificent hymn:'Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion city of our God.'I'm using New Living along with NIV this time through Psalms.Really enjoying it.
I thought it rang a bell. Almost every Psalm seems to have at least a verse or two in hymns that I know! Chris Tomlin has a song on his most recent album with the line, "All my fountains are in you," from the end of this one.
V 6 The Lord will write in the register of the peoples: ‘This one was born in Zion.’
May our names be written in the register as occupants of the city of God.
I summarised all 1,189 chapters of the Bible on Twitter - one tweet per chapter, one chapter per day for over three years.
These are the summaries of the book of Psalms.
They are written to help you understand and remember what's going on in the chapter, but they're no substitute for reading the Bible for yourself.
