Psalm 48
48
The Beauty and Glory of Zion
A Song and Psalm for the sons of Korah.
1Great is the Lord,
and greatly to be praised
in the city of our God,
in the mountain of his holiness.

Matt 5.35. Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth,
is mount Zion, on the sides of the north,
the city of the great King.
3God is known in her palaces for a refuge.
4For, lo, the kings were assembled,
they passed by together.
5They saw it, and so they marveled;
they were troubled, and hasted away.
6Fear took hold upon them there,
and pain, as of a woman in travail.
7Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish
with an east wind.
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 of thy loving-kindness, O God,
in the midst of thy temple.
10According to thy name, O God,
so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth:
thy right hand is full of righteousness.
11Let mount Zion rejoice,
let the daughters of Judah be glad,
because of thy judgments.
12Walk about Zion, and go round about her:
tell the towers thereof.
13Mark ye well 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

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.”
