Psalm 48

• 1 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness.
• 2 Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.
• 3 God is known in her palaces for a refuge.
• 4 For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together.
• 5 They saw it, and so they marvelled; they were troubled, and hasted away.
• 6 Fear took hold upon them there, and pain, as of a woman in travail.
• 7 Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.
• 8 As 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 for ever. Selah.
• 9 We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple.
• 10 According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.
• 11 Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments.
• 12 Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers thereof.
• 13 Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following.
• 14 For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.
