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.

Psalms 48
48
Jerusalem, the City of God
A song of the sons of Korah.
1The Lord is great; he should be praised
in the city of our God, on his holy mountain.
2It is high and beautiful.
It brings joy to the whole world.
Mount Zion is like the high mountains of the north.
It is the city of the Great King.
3God is within its palaces.
He is known as its protection.
4Kings joined together
and came together to attack the city.
5But when they saw it, they were amazed.
They ran away in fear.
6Fear took hold of them.
They hurt like a woman having a baby.
7You destroyed the large trading ships
with an east wind.
8First we heard.
And now we have seen that
God will always keep his city safe.
It is the city of the Lord of heaven’s armies,
the city of our God. Selah
9God, we come into your Temple.
There we think about your love.
10God, your name is known everywhere.
Everywhere on earth people praise you.
Your right hand is full of goodness.
11Mount Zion is happy.
All the towns of Judah rejoice
because your decisions are fair.
12Walk around Jerusalem
and count its towers.
13Notice how strong they are. Look at the palaces.
Then you will be able to tell your children about them.
14This God is our God forever and ever.
He will guide us from now on.
