48:1  A psalm of the Korahites. A song.
48:2  Great is the Lord and highly praised in the city of our God: His holy mountain,
48:3  fairest of heights, the joy of all the earth, Mount Zion, the heights of Zaphon, the city of the great king.
48:4  God is in its citadel, renowned as a stronghold.
48:5  See! The kings assembled, together they advanced.
48:6  When they looked they were astounded; terrified, they were put to flight!
48:7  Trembling seized them there, anguish, like a woman’s labor,
48:8  As when the east wind wrecks the ships of Tarshish!
48:9  What we had heard we have now seen in the city of the Lord of hosts, In the city of our God, which God establishes forever. Selah
48:10  We ponder, O God, your mercy within your temple
48:11  Like your name, O God, so is your praise to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is fully victorious.
48:12  Mount Zion is glad! The daughters of Judah rejoice because of your judgments!
48:13  Go about Zion, walk all around it, note the number of its towers.
48:14  Consider the ramparts, examine its citadels, that you may tell future generations:
48:15  That this is God, our God for ever and ever. He will lead us until death.
