Psalms 48
48
A Song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.
1Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised
in the city of our God, in His holy mountain. # Ps 46:4; Mic 4:1
2Beautiful in elevation,
the joy of the whole earth,
is Mount Zion # Ps 50:2; La 2:15 on the sides of the north,
the city of the great King.
3Within her citadels God is known
as a refuge.
4For behold, the kings assembled;
they passed by together. # 2Sa 10:6–19
5They saw it, and so they were astounded;
they were troubled; they took to flight.
6Trembling took hold of them there,
and pain, as of a woman in labor, # Hos 13:13
7as when You break the ships of Tarshish # 1Ki 22:48
with an east wind. # Jer 18:17
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 it forever. # Ps 87:5; Isa 2:2 Selah
9We have thought on Your lovingkindness, O God, # Ps 26:3; 40:10
in the midst of Your temple.
10According to Your name, O God, # Dt 28:58; Jos 7:9
so is Your praise to the ends of the earth;
Your right hand is full of righteousness.
11Let Mount Zion rejoice;
let the daughters of Judah be glad,
because of Your judgments. # Ps 97:8
12Walk about Zion, and go all around her;
count her towers;
13mark well her bulwarks;
go through her citadels, # Ps 122:7
that you may tell the next generation
14that this is God, our God forever and ever;
He will be our guide forever. # Ps 23:3–4; 73:24
