THE BIBLE

Psalms
Chapter 48


48:1  A Song. A Psalm by the sons of Korah. Great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised, In the city of our God, in his holy mountain.

48:2  Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, Is Mount Zion, on the north sides, The city of the great King.

48:3  God has shown himself in her citadels as a refuge.

48:4  For, behold, the kings assembled themselves, They passed by together.

48:5  They saw it, then they were amazed. They were dismayed, They hurried away.

48:6  Trembling took hold of them there, Pain, as of a woman in travail.

48:7  With the east wind, you break the ships of Tarshish.

48:8  As 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.

48:9  We have thought about your loving kindness, God, In the midst of your temple.

48:10  As is your name, God, So is your praise to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is full of righteousness.

48:11  Let Mount Zion be glad! Let the daughters of Judah rejoice, Because of your judgments.

48:12  Walk about Zion, and go around her. Number its towers;

48:13  Mark well her bulwarks. Consider her palaces, That you may tell it to the next generation.

48:14  For this God is our God forever and ever. He will be our guide even to death.
