48:1  A song; a psalm by Korah’s descendants. Yahweh is great. He should be highly praised. His holy mountain is in the city of our Elohim.
48:2  Its beautiful peak is the joy of the whole earth. Mount Zion is on the northern ridge. It is the city of the great king.
48:3  Elohim is in its palaces. He has proved that he is a stronghold.
48:4  The kings have gathered. They marched together.
48:5  When they saw Mount Zion, they were astonished. They were terrified and ran away in fear.
48:6  Trembling seized them like the trembling that a woman experiences during labor.
48:7  With the east wind you smash the ships of Tarshish.
48:8  The things we had only heard about, we have now seen in the city of Yahweh Tsebaoth, in the city of our Elohim. Elohim makes Zion stand firm forever. Selah
48:9  Inside your temple we carefully reflect on your mercy, O Elohim.
48:10  Like your name, O Elohim, your praise reaches to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is filled with righteousness.
48:11  Let Mount Zion be glad and the cities of Judah rejoice because of your judgments.
48:12  Walk around Zion. Go around it. Count its towers.
48:13  Examine its embankments. Walk through its palaces. Then you can tell the next generation,
48:14  “This Elohim is our Elohim forever and ever. He will lead us beyond death.”
