Psalms 48

Psalm 48

The Beauty and Glory of Zion.

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.

⁴¶For, 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.

⁸Just as we have heard, so have we seen In the city of the Lord of armies, in the city of our God; God will establish her forever. Selah

⁹¶We have thought over Your goodness, God, In the midst of Your temple.

¹⁰As is Your name, God, So is Your praise to the ends of the earth; Your right hand is full of righteousness.

¹¹Mount Zion shall be glad, The daughters of Judah shall rejoice Because of Your judgments.

¹²Walk around Zion and encircle her; Count her towers;

¹³Consider her ramparts; Go through her palaces, So that you may tell of her to the next generation.

¹⁴For such is God, Our God forever and ever; He will lead us until death.
