Tehillim 48
48
(Shir. Mizmor. Of the Bnei Korach)
1 Gadol is Hashem, and greatly to be praised in the Ir Eloheinu, in His Har Kodesh.
2 Yafeh in its loftiness, the joy of kol ha'aretz, is Mt Tziyon, on the sides of the north, the City of Melech Rav.
3 Elohim is in her citadels, known as her fortress.
4 For, hinei, the melachim were assembled, they advanced together.
5 They saw, and ken (thus) they marvelled; they were troubled, and fled.
6 Trembling took hold upon them sham (there), and pain, as of a woman in labor.
7 Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.
8 As we have heard, so have we seen in the Ir Hashem Tzva'os, in the Ir Eloheinu; Elohim will establish it ad olam. Selah
9 We meditate on Thy chesed, O Elohim, in the midst of Thy Heikhal.
10 According to Thy Shem, O Elohim, so is Thy tehillah unto the ends of ha'aretz; Thy right hand is full of tzedek.
11 Let Mt Tziyon rejoice, let the Banot Yehudah (Daughters of Judah) be glad, because of Thy mishpatim.
12 Walk about Tziyon, and go around her; count the towers thereof.
13 Mark ye well her ramparts, consider her citadels; that ye may tell it to the dor acharon.
14 For this Elohim is Eloheinu olam vaed; He will be our guide even unto death.#48:14 T.N. Notice Ps 49:8-9 [9-10], which tells why Moshiach can not be a mere man, in which case he could not redeem another, or be Hashemʼs Isa 53 redemption lamb or the Isa 53 sa'ir l'azazel kapporah.

Psalms 48

(A song and a psalm by the clan of Korah.)
The City of God
1The Lord God is wonderful!
He deserves all praise
in the city where he lives.
His holy mountain,
2 #
Mt 5.35. beautiful and majestic,
brings joy to all on earth.
Mount Zion, truly sacred,
is home for the Great King.
3God is there to defend it
and has proved to be
its protector.
4Kings joined forces
to attack the city,
5but when they saw it,
they were terrified
and ran away.
6They trembled all over
like women giving birth
7or like seagoing ships#48.7 seagoing ships: The Hebrew text has “ships of Tarshish,” which probably means large, seagoing ships.
wrecked by eastern winds.
8We had heard about it,
and now we have seen it
in the city of our God,
the Lord All-Powerful.
This is the city that God
will let stand forever.
9Our God, here in your temple
we think about your love.
10You are famous and praised
everywhere on earth,
as you win victories
with your powerful arm.
11Mount Zion will celebrate,
and all Judah will be glad,
because you bring justice.
12Let's walk around Zion
and count its towers.
13We will see its strong walls
and visit each fortress.
Then you can say
to future generations,
14“Our God is like this forever
and will always#48.14 always: One possible meaning for the difficult Hebrew text. guide us.”
