Psm48:1 Great is the LORD and greatly to be praised in the city of our God. His holy mountain,
Psm48:2 beautiful in elevation, is the joy of all the earth, Mount Zion, in the far north, the city of the great King.
Psm48:3 Within its citadels God has shown himself a sure defense.
Psm48:4 Then the kings assembled, they came on together.
Psm48:5 As soon as they saw it, they were astounded; they were in panic, they took to flight;
Psm48:6 trembling took hold of them there, pains as of a woman in labor,
Psm48:7 as when an east wind shatters the ships of Tarshish.
Psm48:8 As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God, which God establishes forever.Selah
Psm48:9 We ponder your steadfast love, O God, in the midst of your temple.
Psm48:10 Your name, O God, like your praise, reaches to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is filled with victory.
Psm48:11 Let Mount Zion be glad, let the towns of Judah rejoice because of your judgments.
Psm48:12 Walk about Zion, go all around it, count its towers,
Psm48:13 consider well its ramparts; go through its citadels, that you may tell the next generation
Psm48:14 that this is God, our God forever and ever. He will be our guide forever.
Psm48:15
