Psalms 48

¹A Song; a Psalm of the sons of Korah. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised, In the city of our God, His holy mountain.

²Fair and beautiful in elevation, the joy of all the earth, Is Mount Zion [the City of David] in the far north, The city of the great King.

³God, in her palaces, Has made Himself known as a stronghold.

⁴For, lo, the kings assembled themselves, They [came and] passed by together.

⁵They saw it, then they were amazed; They were stricken with terror, they fled in alarm.

⁶Panic seized them there, And pain, as that of a woman in childbirth.

⁷With the east wind You shattered the ships of Tarshish.

⁸As we have heard, so have we seen In the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish her forever. Selah.

⁹We have thought of Your lovingkindness, O God, In the midst of Your temple.

¹⁰As is Your name, O God, So is Your praise to the ends of the earth; Your right hand is full of righteousness (rightness, justice).

¹¹Let Mount Zion be glad, Let the daughters of Judah rejoice Because of Your [righteous] judgments.

¹²Walk about Zion, go all around her; Count her towers,

¹³Consider her ramparts, Go through her palaces, That you may tell the next generation [about her glory].

¹⁴For this is God, Our God forever and ever; He will be our guide even until death.
