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 on the slopes of the north 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 Yahweh of Hosts, 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 Your name, God, like Your praise, reaches to the ends of the earth; Your right hand is filled with justice.
48:11 Mount Zion is glad. The towns of Judah 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."
