Psalms 48
1 A song. A psalm of the sons of Korah. [1] The LORD is great and highly praised in the city of our God. His holy mountain,
2 rising splendidly, is the joy of the whole earth. Mount Zion — the summit of Zaphon — is the city of the great King.
3 God is known as a stronghold in its citadels.
4 Look! The kings assembled; they advanced together.
5 They looked and froze with fear; they fled in terror.
6 Trembling seized them there, agony like that of a woman in labor,
7 as you wrecked the ships of Tarshish with the east wind.
8 Just as we heard, so we have seen in the city of the LORD of Armies, in the city of our God; God will establish it forever. Selah
9 God, within your temple, we contemplate your faithful love.
10 Like your name, God, so your praise reaches to the ends of the earth; your right hand is filled with justice.
11 Mount Zion is glad. Judah’s villages rejoice because of your judgments.
12 Go around Zion, encircle it; count its towers,
13 note its ramparts; tour its citadels so that you can tell a future generation:
14 “This God, our God forever and ever — he will always lead us.”
