48:1  The Lord is great. He deserves to be praised in the city of our God, on his holy mountain.
48:2  His mountain is lofty and beautiful, the joy of the whole earth. Mount Zion, the northern mountain, is the city of the Great King.
48:3  God is in her citadels. He is famous as her fortress.
48:4  Look! See! The kings came together. They advanced together.
48:5  They saw. Yes, they were amazed. They were terrified. They were put to flight.
48:6  Trembling seized them there, pain like a woman giving birth.
48:7  You shattered them with an east wind, like ships of Tarshish.
48:8  What we have heard, we now have also seen: In the city of the Lord of Armies, in the city of our God, Interlude God establishes her forever.
48:9  Inside your temple, O God, we meditate on your mercy.
48:10  Your praise, O God, reaches to the ends of the earth, just as your fame does. Righteousness fills your right hand.
48:11  Mount Zion rejoices. The daughters of Judah celebrate because of your judgments.
48:12  Go around Zion. Yes, go all the way around her. Count her towers.
48:13  Consider her rampart. View her citadels, so that you may tell the next generation about them.
48:14  For this God is our God forever and ever. He will guide us beyond death.
