←Prev   Psalms 48 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


48:1  A song. A psalm of the sons of Korah. The Lord is great and highly praised in the city of our God. His holy mountain,
48:2  rising splendidly, is the joy of the whole earth. Mount Zion—the summit of Zaphon— is the city of the great King.
48:3  God is known as a stronghold in its citadels.
48:4  Look! The kings assembled; they advanced together.
48:5  They looked and froze with fear; they fled in terror.
48:6  Trembling seized them there, agony like that of a woman in labor,
48:7  as you wrecked the ships of Tarshish with the east wind.
48:8  Just as we heard, so we have seen in the city of the Lord of Armies, in the city of our God; God will establish it forever.Selah
48:9  God, within your temple, we contemplate your faithful love.
48:10  Like your name, God, so your praise reaches to the ends of the earth; your right hand is filled with justice.
48:11  Mount Zion is glad. Judah’s villages rejoice because of your judgments.
48:12  Go around Zion, encircle it; count its towers,
48:13  note its ramparts; tour its citadels so that you can tell a future generation:
48:14  “This God, our God forever and ever— he will always lead us.”
