Psalms 48 / 150
- 1Great is the LORD , and most worthy of praise, in the city of our God, his holy mountain.
- 2It is beautiful in its loftiness, the joy of the whole earth. Like the utmost heights of Zaphon is Mount Zion, the city of the Great King.
- 3God is in her citadels; he has shown himself to be her fortress.
- 4When the kings joined forces, when they advanced together,
- 5they saw her and were astounded; they fled in terror.
- 6Trembling seized them there, pain like that of a woman in labor.
- 7You destroyed them like ships of Tarshish shattered by an east wind.
- 8As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD Almighty, in the city of our God: God makes her secure forever. Selah
- 9Within your temple, O God, we meditate on your unfailing love.
- 10Like your name, O God, your praise reaches to the ends of the earth; your right hand is filled with righteousness.
- 11Mount Zion rejoices, the villages of Judah are glad because of your judgments.
- 12Walk about Zion, go around her, count her towers,
- 13consider well her ramparts, view her citadels, that you may tell of them to the next generation.
- 14For this God is our God for ever and ever; he will be our guide even to the end.
