Psalms 48 (NASB)

¹A Song; a Psalm of the sons of Korah. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised, In the city of our God, His holy mountain.

²Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, Is Mount Zion [in] the far north, The city of the great King.

³God, in her palaces, Has made Himself known as a stronghold.

⁴For, lo, the kings assembled themselves, They passed by together.

⁵They saw [it], then they were amazed; They were terrified, they fled in alarm.

⁶Panic seized them there, Anguish, as of a woman in childbirth.

⁷With the east wind You break the ships of Tarshish.

⁸As we have heard, so have we seen In the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God; God will establish her forever. Selah.

⁹We have thought on Your lovingkindness, O God, In the midst of Your temple.

¹⁰As is Your name, O God, So is Your praise to the ends of the earth; Your right hand is full of righteousness.

¹¹Let Mount Zion be glad, Let the daughters of Judah rejoice Because of Your judgments.

¹²Walk about Zion and go around her; Count her towers;

¹³Consider her ramparts; Go through her palaces, That you may tell [it] to the next generation.

¹⁴For such is God, Our God forever and ever; He will guide us until death.
