Psalms 48

¹A 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.

²Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, Is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, The city of the great King.

³God hath made himself known in her palaces for a refuge.

⁴For, lo, the kings assembled themselves, They passed by together.

⁵They saw it, then were they amazed; They were dismayed, they hasted away.

⁶Trembling took hold of them there, Pain, as of a woman in travail.

⁷With the east wind Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish.

⁸As 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

⁹We have thought on thy lovingkindness, O God, In the midst of thy temple.

¹⁰As is thy name, O God, So is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: Thy right hand is full of righteousness.

¹¹Let mount Zion be glad, Let the daughters of Judah rejoice, Because of thy judgments.

¹²Walk about Zion, and go round about her; Number 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.
