Psalm 48

1 A Song7892 and Psalm4210 for the sons1121 of Korah.7141 Great1419 is the LORD,3068 and greatly3966 to be praised1984 in the city5892 of our God,430 in the mountain2022 of his holiness.6944

2 Beautiful3303 for situation,5131 the joy4885 of the whole3605 earth,776 is mount2022 Zion,6726 on the sides3411 of the north,6828 the city7151 of the great7227 King.4428

3 God430 is known3045 in her palaces759 for a refuge.4869

4 For, see,2009 the kings4428 were assembled,3259 they passed5674 by together.3162

5 They saw7200 it, and so3651 they marveled;8539 they were troubled,926 and hurried2648 away.

6 Fear7461 took hold270 on them there,8033 and pain,2427 as of a woman in travail.3205

7 You break7665 the ships591 of Tarshish8659 with an east6921 wind.7307

8 As we have heard,8085 so3651 have we seen7200 in the city5892 of the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 in the city5892 of our God:430 God430 will establish3559 it for ever.5769 Selah.5542

9 We have thought1819 of your loving kindness,2617 O God,430 in the middle7130 of your temple.1964

10 According to your name,8034 O God,430 so3651 is your praise8416 to the ends7099 of the earth:776 your right3225 hand3225 is full4390 of righteousness.6664

11 Let mount2022 Zion6726 rejoice,8055 let the daughters1323 of Judah3063 be glad,1523 because4616 of your judgments.4941

12 Walk5437 about5439 Zion,6726 and go5362 round5362 about her: tell5608 the towers4026 thereof.

13 Mark7896 you well her bulwarks,2430 consider6448 her palaces;759 that you may tell5608 it to the generation1755 following.314

14 For this2088 God430 is our God430 for ever5703 and ever:5703 he will be our guide5090 even to death.4192

Psalms

Psalm 48

1 GREAT is our LORD, and exceedingly exalted in the city of our God and in his holy and glorious mountain.

2 Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion on the slopes of the north, the city of the great King.

3 God shows his might in her walled cities.

4 For, lo, the kings were prepared, and they passed by together.

5 They saw it, and so they marvelled; they were frustrated and hastened away.

6 Fear took hold of them, and pain, as of a woman in travail.

7 With a violent storm, the ships of Tarshish shall be broken.

8 As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of our God; God will establish it for ever.

9 We have trusted upon thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple.

10 As is thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth; thy right hand is full of righteousness.

11 Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad because of thy judgments, O LORD.

12 Circle Zion, and go round about her; count the towers thereof.

13 Mark well her strength and the depth of her bulwarks, that you may tell it to another generation.

14 For this God is our God for ever and ever; he will be our guide until death.
