Psalms 48

1 A song; a psalm for the sons of Korah.

Great is Jehovah, and to··be··praised exceedingly,In the city of our God, the mountain of His holiness.

2 Beautiful in situation^◦, the joy of all the earth is Mount Zion,On the flanks of the north, the city^◦ of the great^◦ King.

3 God is known in her palacesFor a High··Tower.

4 For behold, the kings have congregated,They have crossed··over as··one.

5 They^◦ saw, so they were amazed.They were vexed, they rushed··away.

6 Quivering seized them there;Travailing, as of her who gives··birth.

7 By the east windThou breakest the ships of Tarshish.

8 As^◦ we have heard, so have we seenIn the city of Jehovah of Armies,In the city of our God;God will establish her even··to eternity. Selah.

9 We have considered, O God, Thy mercy,In the midst^◦ of Thy temple.

10 As Thy name, O God, so is Thy praise over the ends of the earth;Justice fills Thy right··hand.

11 Let Mount Zion be··glad, let the daughters of Judah rejoice,Because··of^◦ Thy judgments.

12 Go··around Zion, and circle her;Number her towers.

13 Set^◦ your heart to her rampart, mark· ye ·well her palaces;So··that you may recount^◦ it to a later generation.

14 For this God is our God to eternity and forever.He^◦ will direct us even until death.
