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.”

Tehillim 48
48
(Shir. Mizmor. Of the Bnei Korach)
1 Gadol is Hashem, and greatly to be praised in the Ir Eloheinu, in His Har Kodesh.
2 Yafeh in its loftiness, the joy of kol ha'aretz, is Mt Tziyon, on the sides of the north, the City of Melech Rav.
3 Elohim is in her citadels, known as her fortress.
4 For, hinei, the melachim were assembled, they advanced together.
5 They saw, and ken (thus) they marvelled; they were troubled, and fled.
6 Trembling took hold upon them sham (there), and pain, as of a woman in labor.
7 Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.
8 As we have heard, so have we seen in the Ir Hashem Tzva'os, in the Ir Eloheinu; Elohim will establish it ad olam. Selah
9 We meditate on Thy chesed, O Elohim, in the midst of Thy Heikhal.
10 According to Thy Shem, O Elohim, so is Thy tehillah unto the ends of ha'aretz; Thy right hand is full of tzedek.
11 Let Mt Tziyon rejoice, let the Banot Yehudah (Daughters of Judah) be glad, because of Thy mishpatim.
12 Walk about Tziyon, and go around her; count the towers thereof.
13 Mark ye well her ramparts, consider her citadels; that ye may tell it to the dor acharon.
14 For this Elohim is Eloheinu olam vaed; He will be our guide even unto death.#48:14 T.N. Notice Ps 49:8-9 [9-10], which tells why Moshiach can not be a mere man, in which case he could not redeem another, or be Hashemʼs Isa 53 redemption lamb or the Isa 53 sa'ir l'azazel kapporah.
