Psalms 48

The Glory of God in Zion

¹Great is the Lord, 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 is in her palaces; He is known as her refuge.

⁴For behold, the kings assembled, They passed by together.

⁵They saw it, and so they marveled; They were troubled, they hastened away.

⁶Fear took hold of them there, And pain, as of a woman in birth pangs,

⁷As when You break the ships of Tarshish With an east wind.

⁸As we have heard, So we have seen In the city of the Lord of hosts, In the city of our God: God will establish it forever. Selah

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

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

¹¹Let Mount Zion rejoice, Let the daughters of Judah be glad, Because of Your judgments.

¹²Walk about Zion, And go all around her. Count her towers;

¹³Mark well her bulwarks; Consider her palaces; That you may tell it to the generation following.

¹⁴For this is God, Our God forever and ever; He will be our guide Even to death.
