Psalms Chapter 48

1 A Song and Psalm for the Sons of Korah. Great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of His holiness.

2 Beautiful on high, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.

3 God is known in her strongholds for a refuge.

4 For, lo, the kings were gathered; they passed by together.

Psalms Chapter 48

5 They saw, so they marvelled; they were troubled, and hurried away.

6 Fear took hold on them there, and pain, like a woman in labor.

7 You break the ships of Tarshish with an east wind;

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

Psalms Chapter 48

9 We have thought of Your loving-kindness, O God, in the midst of Your temple.

10 According to Your name, O God, so is Your praise to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is full of righteousness; let mount Zion rejoice!

11 Let the daughters of Judah shout for joy because of Your judgments!

12 Walk around Zion, and go all around it; count the towers of it,

Psalms Chapter 48

13 Set your heart on its ramparts, pass between its strongholds; so that you may tell it to the coming generation.

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