Psalms 48

1. ¹Great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised, In the city of our God, in his holy mountain.
2. ²Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, Is Mount Zion, on the north sides, The city of the great King.
3. ³God has shown himself in her citadels as a refuge.
4. ⁴For, behold, the kings assembled themselves, They passed by together.
5. ⁵They saw it, then they were amazed. They were dismayed, They hurried away.
6. ⁶Trembling took hold of them there, Pain, as of a woman in travail.
7. ⁷With the east wind, you break the ships of Tarshish.
8. ⁸As we have heard, so we have seen, In the city of Yahweh of Hosts, in the city of our God. God will establish it forever. Selah.
9. ⁹We have thought about your loving kindness, God, In the midst of your temple.
10. ¹⁰As is your name, God, So is your praise to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is full of righteousness.
11. ¹¹Let Mount Zion be glad! Let the daughters of Judah rejoice, Because of your judgments.
12. ¹²Walk about Zion, and go around her. Number its towers;
13. ¹³Mark well her bulwarks. Consider her palaces, That you may tell it to the next generation.
14. ¹⁴For this God is our God forever and ever. He will be our guide even to death.
