Psalm 48 :: American Standard Version (ASV)

The Beauty and Glory of Zion.

Psa 48:1

A Song; a Psalm of the sons of Korah.

Great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised,

In the city of our God, in his holy mountain.

Psa 48:2

Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth,

Is mount Zion, on the sides of the north,

The city of the great King.

Psa 48:3

God hath made himself known in her palaces for a refuge.

Psa 48:4

For, lo, the kings assembled themselves,

They passed by together.

Psa 48:5

They saw it, then were they amazed;

They were dismayed, they hasted away.

Psa 48:6

Trembling took hold of them there,

Pain, as of a woman in travail.

Psa 48:7

With the east wind

Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish.

Psa 48:8

As we have heard, so have we seen

In the city of Jehovah of hosts, in the city of our God:

God will establish it for ever.

[Selah

Psa 48:9

We have thought on thy lovingkindness, O God,

In the midst of thy temple.

Psa 48:10

As is thy name, O God,

So is thy praise unto the ends of the earth:

Thy right hand is full of righteousness.

Psa 48:11

Let mount Zion be glad,

Let the daughters of Judah rejoice,

Because of thy judgments.

Psa 48:12

Walk about Zion, and go round about her;

Number the towers thereof;

Psa 48:13

Mark ye well her bulwarks;

Consider her palaces:

That ye may tell it to the generation following.

Psa 48:14

For this God is our God for ever and ever:

He will be our guide even unto death.
