Psalms 48
48
A Song; a Psalm of the sons of Korah.
1Great is the LORD, and highly to be praised,
In the city of our God, in his holy mountain.
2Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth,
Is mount Zion, on the sides of the north,
The city of the great King.
3God hath made himself known in her palaces for a refuge.
4For, lo, the kings assembled themselves,
They passed by together.
5They saw it, then were they amazed;
They were dismayed, they hasted away.
6Trembling took hold of them there;
Pain, as of a woman in travail.
7With the east wind
Thou breakest 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 it for ever. Selah
9We have thought on thy lovingkindness, O God,
In the midst of thy temple.
10As is thy name, O God,
So is thy praise unto the ends of the earth:
Thy right hand is full of righteousness.
11Let mount Zion be glad,
Let the daughters of Judah rejoice,
Because of thy judgements.
12Walk about Zion, and go round about her:
Tell the towers thereof.
13Mark ye welt her bulwarks,
Consider her palaces;
That ye may tell it to the generation following.
14For this God is our God for ever and ever:
He will be our guide even unto death.

Tehillim (Psalms) 48
48
1Great is יהוה, and greatly to be praised In the city of our Elohim, His set-apart mountain.
2Beautiful on high, The joy of all the earth, Is Mount Tsiyon on the sides of the north, The city of the great Sovereign.
3Elohim is in her citadels; He is known as her refuge.
4For look, the sovereigns met, They passed by together.
5They saw, so they marvelled; They were alarmed, they hastened away.
6Trembling took hold of them there, Pain, as of a woman in labour,
7With an east wind You break the ships of Tarshish.
8As we have heard, so we have seen In the city of יהוה of hosts, In the city of our Elohim, Elohim establishes her forever. Selah.
9We have thought, O Elohim, of Your loving-commitment, In the midst of Your Hĕḵal.
10According to Your Name, O Elohim, So is Your praise to the ends of the earth; Your right hand is filled with righteousness.
11Let Mount Tsiyon rejoice, Let the daughters of Yehuḏah exult, Because of Your right-rulings.
12Walk about Tsiyon, And go all around her. Count her towers;
13Set your heart upon her rampart; Go through her citadels; So that you report it to the coming generation.
14For this Elohim is our Elohim, Forever and ever; He Himself leads us, Even to death.
