Psalms 48
[1]
in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.
[2] Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth,
is Mount Zion, on the north sides,
the city of the great King.
[3] God has shown himself in her citadels as a refuge.
[4] For, behold, the kings assembled themselves,
they passed by together.
[5] They saw it, then they were amazed.
They were dismayed.
They hurried away.
[6] Trembling took hold of them there,
pain, as of a woman in travail.
[7] With the east wind, you break the ships of Tarshish.
[8] As we have heard, so we have seen,
in the city of Yahweh of Armies, in the city of our God.
God will establish it forever.
Selah. [9] We have thought about your loving kindness, God,
in the middle of your temple.
[10] As is your name, God,
so is your praise to the ends of the earth.
Your right hand is full of righteousness.
[11] Let Mount Zion be glad!
Let the daughters of Judah rejoice because of your judgments.
[12] Walk about Zion, and go around her.
Number its towers.
[13] Notice her bulwarks.
Consider her palaces,
that you may tell it to the next generation.
[14] For this God is our God forever and ever.
He will be our guide even to death.
