Psalms 48
48
Consider Zion’s Towers
1A song, a psalm of the sons of Korah.
2Great is Adonai, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God —His holy mountain.
3A beautiful height —the joy of the whole earth— is Mount Zion, on the northern side of the city of the great King.
4God, in her palaces, is known as a stronghold.
5For behold, the kings assembled, they advanced together.
6They saw, then they were astounded, they fled in terror.
7Trembling seized them there, pain like a woman in labor.
8With an east wind You broke the ships of Tarshish.
9As we have heard, so have we seen, in the city of Adonai-Tzva’ot, in the city of our God. God will establish her forever. Selah
10We have meditated on Your lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of Your Temple.
11Like Your Name, O God, so is Your praise to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is full of righteousness.
12Mount Zion is glad, the daughters of Judah rejoice, because of Your judgments.
13Walk about Zion, go around her. Count her towers.
14Consider her ramparts, go through her palaces, so you may describe it to the next generation.
15For this God is our God, forever and ever! He will guide us to the end.

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.”
