Psalms 48 / 150
- 1
(Zion, the City of Our God)A Song. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah.
Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised
in the city of our God!
His holy mountain,
- 2
beautiful in elevation,
is the joy of all the earth,
Mount Zion, in the far north,
the city of the great King.
- 3
Within her citadels God
has made himself known as a fortress.
- 4
For behold, the kings assembled;
they came on together.
- 5
As soon as they saw it, they were astounded;
they were in panic; they took to flight.
- 6
Trembling took hold of them there,
anguish as of a woman in labor.
- 7
By the east wind you shattered
the ships of Tarshish.
- 8
As we have heard, so have we seen
in the city of the Lord of hosts,
in the city of our God,
which God will establish forever. Selah
- 9
We have thought on your steadfast love, O God,
in the midst of your temple.
- 10
As your name, O God,
so your praise reaches to the ends of the earth.
Your right hand is filled with righteousness.
- 11
Let Mount Zion be glad!
Let the daughters of Judah rejoice
because of your judgments!
- 12
Walk about Zion, go around her,
number her towers,
- 13
consider well her ramparts,
go through her citadels,
that you may tell the next generation
- 14
that this is God,
our God forever and ever.
He will guide us forever.
