PSALM 48
The Glory of God in Zion
A Song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.
1 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised
​​In the city of our God,
​​In His holy mountain.
2 ​​Beautiful in elevation,
​​The joy of the whole earth,
​​Is Mount Zion on the sides of the north,
​​The city of the great King.
3 ​​God is in her palaces;
​​He is known as her refuge.
​
4 ​​For behold, the kings assembled,
​​They passed by together.
5 ​​They saw it, and so they marveled;
​​They were troubled, they hastened away.
6 ​​Fear took hold of them there,
​​And pain, as of a woman in birth pangs,
7 ​​As when You break the ships of Tarshish
​​With an east wind.
​
8 ​​As we have heard,
​​So we have seen
​​In the city of the LORD of hosts,
​​In the city of our God:
​​God will establish it forever. Selah
​
9 ​​We have thought, O God, on Your lovingkindness,
​​In the midst of Your temple.
10 ​​According to Your name, O God,
​​So is Your praise to the ends of the earth;
​​Your right hand is full of righteousness.
11 ​​Let Mount Zion rejoice,
​​Let the daughters of Judah be glad,
​​Because of Your judgments.
​
12 ​​Walk about Zion,
​​And go all around her.
​​Count her towers;
13 ​​Mark well her bulwarks;
​​Consider her palaces;
​​That you may tell it to the generation following.
14 ​​For this is God,
​​Our God forever and ever;
​​He will be our guide
​​Even to death.[fn]
