Psalms 48
-
1 A Song; a Psalm of the sons of Korah. Great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised, In the city of our God, in his holy mountain.
-
2 Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, Is mount Zion, [on] the sides of the north, The city of the great King.
-
3 God hath made himself known in her palaces for a refuge.
-
4 For, lo, the kings assembled themselves, They passed by together.
-
5 They saw it, then were they amazed; They were dismayed, they hasted away.
-
6 Trembling took hold of them there, Pain, as of a woman in travail.
-
7 With the east wind Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish.
-
8 As we have heard, so have we seen In the city of Jehovah of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. [Selah
-
9 We have thought on thy lovingkindness, O God, In the midst of thy temple.
-
10 As is thy name, O God, So is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: Thy right hand is full of righteousness.
-
11 Let mount Zion be glad, Let the daughters of Judah rejoice, Because of thy judgments.
-
12 Walk about Zion, and go round about her; Number the towers thereof;
-
13 Mark ye well her bulwarks; Consider her palaces: That ye may tell it to the generation following.
-
14 For this God is our God for ever and ever: He will be our guide [even] unto death.
