Psalms 48

¹A SONG. A PSALM OF THE SONS OF KORAH. Great is YHWH, and greatly praised, In the city of our God—His holy hill.

²Beautiful for elevation, A joy of all the land, is Mount Zion, The sides of the north, the city of the great King.

³God is known for a tower in her high places.

⁴For behold, the kings met, they passed by together,

⁵They have seen—so they have marveled, They have been troubled, they were hurried away.

⁶Trembling has seized them there, Pain, as of a travailing woman.

⁷By an east wind You shatter ships of Tarshish.

⁸As we have heard, so we have seen, In the city of YHWH of hosts, In the city of our God, God establishes her for all time. Selah.

⁹We have thought, O God, of Your kindness, In the midst of Your temple,

¹⁰As is Your Name, O God, so is Your praise, Over the ends of the earth, Righteousness has filled Your right hand.

¹¹Mount Zion rejoices, The daughters of Judah are joyful, For the sake of Your judgments.

¹²Surround Zion, and go around her, count her towers,

¹³Set your heart to her bulwark, Consider her high places, So that you recount to a later generation,

¹⁴That this God is our God—For all time and forever, He leads us over death!
