48:1 A song. A psalm of the sons of Korah. Yahweh is great and very worthy of praise in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.
48:2 Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion, in the far north, the city of the great king.
48:3 God is in her citadels; he is known as a high stronghold.
48:4 For see, the kings assembled; they advanced together.
48:5 They themselves saw it, so they were astonished. They were terrified; they ran off.
48:6 Trembling seized them there— pain as of a woman in labor.
48:7 With an east wind you shatter the ships of Tarshish.
48:8 As we have heard, so we have seen in the city of Yahweh of hosts, in the city of our God. God will establish her forever. Selah
48:9 We have pondered your loyal love, O God, in the midst of your temple.
48:10 As is your name, O God, so is your praise to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is full of righteousness.
48:11 Let Mount Zion rejoice; let the daughters of Judah rejoice because of your judgments.
48:12 Walk about Zion and circle it; count her towers.
48:13 Consider well her ramparts. Go through her citadels so that you can tell the next generation
48:14 that this is God, our God forever and ever. He himself will guide us until death.
