48:1 [A Song; a Psalm of the sons of Korah]. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised, In the city of our God, His holy mountain. 48:2 Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, Is Mount Zion [in] the far north, The city of the great King. 48:3 God, in her palaces, Has made Himself known as a stronghold. 48:4 For, lo, the kings assembled themselves, They passed by together. 48:5 They saw [it], then they were amazed; They were terrified, they fled in alarm. 48:6 Panic seized them there, Anguish, as of a woman in childbirth. 48:7 With the east wind Thou dost break the ships of Tarshish. 48:8 As we have heard, so have we seen In the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God; God will establish her forever. Selah. 48:9 We have thought on Thy lovingkindness, O God, In the midst of Thy temple. 48:10 As is Thy name, O God, So is Thy praise to the ends of the earth; Thy right hand is full of righteousness. 48:11 Let Mount Zion be glad, Let the daughters of Judah rejoice, Because of Thy judgments. 48:12 Walk about Zion, and go around her; Count her towers; 48:13 Consider her ramparts; Go through her palaces; That you may tell [it] to the next generation. 48:14 For such is God, Our God forever and ever; He will guide us until death. 48:15
