Psalms 48
Ready to read
1
Great is the LORD and greatly to be praised in the city of our God. His holy mountain,
2
beautiful in elevation, is the joy of all the earth, Mount Zion, in the far north, the city of the great King.
3
Within its citadels God has shown himself a sure defense.
4
Then the kings assembled, they came on together.
5
As soon as they saw it, they were astounded; they were in panic, they took to flight;
6
trembling took hold of them there, pains as of a woman in labor,
7
as when an east wind shatters the ships of Tarshish.
8
As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God, which God establishes forever. Selah
9
We ponder your steadfast love, O God, in the midst of your temple.
10
Your name, O God, like your praise, reaches to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is filled with victory.
11
Let Mount Zion be glad, let the towns [1] of Judah rejoice because of your judgments.
12
Walk about Zion, go all around it, count its towers,
13
consider well its ramparts; go through its citadels, that you may tell the next generation
14
that this is God, our God forever and ever. He will be our guide forever.
