Psalms

48:1Great is the LORD, and most worthy of praise, in the city of our God, his holy mountain.
48:2It is beautiful in its loftiness, the joy of the whole earth. Like the utmost heights of Zaphon is Mount Zion, the city of the Great King.
48:3God is in her citadels; he has shown himself to be her fortress.
48:4When the kings joined forces, when they advanced together,
48:5they saw her and were astounded; they fled in terror.
48:6Trembling seized them there, pain like that of a woman in labor.
48:7You destroyed them like ships of Tarshish shattered by an east wind.
48:8As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD Almighty, in the city of our God: God makes her secure forever. Selah
48:9Within your temple, O God, we meditate on your unfailing love.
48:10Like your name, O God, your praise reaches to the ends of the earth; your right hand is filled with righteousness.
48:11Mount Zion rejoices, the villages of Judah are glad because of your judgments.
48:12Walk about Zion, go around her, count her towers,
48:13consider well her ramparts, view her citadels, that you may tell of them to the next generation.
48:14For this God is our God for ever and ever; he will be our guide even to the end.
