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.

Psalms 48
48
Psalm 48
A song; a psalm by Korah’s descendants.
1The Lord is great.
He should be highly praised.
His holy mountain is in the city of our God.
2Its beautiful peak is the joy of the whole earth.
Mount Zion is on the northern ridge.
It is the city of the great king.
3God is in its palaces.
He has proved that he is a stronghold.
4The kings have gathered.
They marched together.
5 ⌞When⌟ they saw ⌞Mount Zion⌟,
they were astonished.
They were terrified and ran away in fear.
6Trembling seized them
like the trembling that a woman experiences during labor.
7With the east wind you smash the ships of Tarshish.
8The things we had only heard about, we have now seen
in the city of the Lord of Armies,
in the city of our God.
God makes Zion stand firm forever. Selah
9Inside your temple we carefully reflect on your mercy, O God.
10Like your name, O God,
your praise ⌞reaches⌟ to the ends of the earth.
Your right hand is filled with righteousness.
11Let Mount Zion be glad
and the cities of Judah rejoice
because of your judgments.
12Walk around Zion.
Go around it.
Count its towers.
13Examine its embankments.
Walk through its palaces.
Then you can tell the next generation,
14“This God is our God forever and ever.
He will lead us beyond death.”
