Psalms 48

The beauty and glory of Zion.

A Song; a Psalm of the sons of Korah.

¹Great is Yahweh, 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 north sides, The city of the great King.

³God has shown himself in her citadels as a refuge.

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

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

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

⁷With the east wind, you break the ships of Tarshish.

⁸As we have heard, so have we seen, In the city of Yahweh of Hosts, in the city of our God. God will establish it forever. Selah.

⁹We have thought about your lovingkindness, 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.

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

¹²Walk about Zion, and go around her. Number the towers of it;

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

¹⁴For this God is our God forever and ever. He will be our guide even to death.
