Psalm 48

The Beauty and Glory of Zion.

A Song; a Psalm of the sons of Korah.

1Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised
In the city of our God, His holy mountain.
2Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth,
Is Mount Zion in the far north,
The city of the great King.
3In its palaces,
God has made Himself known as a stronghold.
4For, behold, the kings arrived,
They passed by together.
5They saw it, then they were amazed;
They were terrified, they fled in a hurry.
6Panic seized them there,
Anguish, as that of a woman in childbirth.
7With the east wind
You smash the ships of Tarshish.
