Psalmen 48

1. ¹A Song; a Psalm of the sons of Korah.
2. ²Great is the LORD, and highly to be praised, in the city of our God, His holy mountain,
3. ³Fair in situation, the joy of the whole earth; even mount Zion, the uttermost parts of the north, the city of the great King.
4. ⁴God in her palaces hath made Himself known for a stronghold.
5. ⁵For, lo, the kings assembled themselves, they came onward together.
6. ⁶They saw, straightway they were amazed; they were affrighted, they hasted away.
7. ⁷Trembling took hold of them there, pangs, as of a woman in travail.
8. ⁸With the east wind Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish.
9. ⁹As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God--God establish it for ever. Selah
10. ¹⁰We have thought on Thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of Thy temple.
11. ¹¹As is Thy name, O God, so is Thy praise unto the ends of the earth; Thy right hand is full of righteousness.
12. ¹²Let mount Zion be glad, let the daughters of Judah rejoice, because of Thy judgments.
13. ¹³Walk about Zion, and go round about her; count the towers thereof.
14. ¹⁴Mark ye well her ramparts, traverse her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following.
15. ¹⁵For such is God, our God, for ever and ever; He will guide us eternally.
