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, is the joy of all the earth, Mount Zion, in the far north, the city of the great King. 48:3 Within her citadels God has shown himself a sure defense. 48:4 For lo, the kings assembled, they came on together. 48:5 As soon as they saw it, they were astounded, they were in panic, they took to flight; 48:6 trembling took hold of them there, anguish as of a woman in travail. 48:7 By the east wind thou didst shatter 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, which God establishes for ever. [Selah] 48:9 We have thought on thy steadfast love, O God, in the midst of thy temple. 48:10 As thy name, O God, so thy praise reaches to the ends of the earth. Thy right hand is filled with victory; 48:11 let Mount Zion be glad! Let the daughters of Judah rejoice because of thy judgments! 48:12 Walk about Zion, go round about her, number her towers, 48:13 consider well her ramparts, go through her citadels;that you may tell the next generation 48:14 that this is God, our God for ever and ever. He will be our guide for ever. 48:15
