48:2 Great is the Lord and worthy of high praise in the city of our God. His holy mountain,
48:3 towering in its beauty, is the joy of the entire earth. Mount Zion, the true heights of the north, is the city of the great King.
48:4 God is in her citadels and has revealed himself as her fortress.
48:5 For the kings conspired together and came onward in unison.
48:6 As soon as they beheld her, they were astounded; filled with panic, they fled.
48:7 They were seized with trembling, with pains like those of a woman in labor,
48:8 as though a wind from the east were breaking up the ships of Tarshish.
48:9 What we had heard, we have now beheld for ourselves in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God that he established to endure forever. Selah
48:10 O God, as we stand in the midst of your temple, we will meditate on your kindness.
48:11 Like your name, O God, your praise extends to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is filled with righteousness;
48:12 let Mount Zion rejoice. Let the towns of Judah exult in your saving judgments.
48:13 Walk around Zion; pass throughout her; count the number of her towers.
48:14 Take careful note of her ramparts, walk through her citadels, so that you may recount for future generations
48:15 that such is God; our God forever and ever, he will be our guide eternally.
