Psalm of Solomon, Chapter 11

1. [Of Solomon. For expectation] Sound the trumpet in Zion, the signal for the saints! Proclaim in Jerusalem the voice of one bringing good news for God became merciful to Israel in watching over them.    2. Stand on a high place, Jerusalem, and look at your children brought together from the east and the west by the Lord.    3. From the north they come in the joy of their God; from distant islands God has brought them.    4. He lowered high mountains to level ground for them; the hills fled at their coming.    5. The thickets shaded them as they passed by; God made every fragrant tree to grow up for them.    6. So that Israel might proceed under the watchful care of the glory of their God.    7. Jerusalem, put on the clothes of your glory, prepare the robe of your holiness for the Lord proclaimed the good things for Israel forever hereafter.    8. May the Lord do what he proclaimed about Israel and Jerusalem; may the Lord raise up Israel in the name of his glory.    9. The mercy of the Lord [be] upon Israel forever hereafter.
