Psalm 48 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

The Beauty and Glory of Zion.

Psa 48:1

A Song; a Psalm of the sons of Korah.

Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised

In the city of our God, His holy mountain.

Psa 48:2

Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth,

Is Mount Zion in the far north,

The city of the great King.

Psa 48:3

In its palaces,

God has made Himself known as a stronghold.

Psa 48:4

For, behold, the kings arrived,

They passed by together.

Psa 48:5

They saw it, then they were amazed;

They were terrified, they fled in a hurry.

Psa 48:6

[fn]Panic seized them there,

Anguish, as that of a woman in childbirth.

Psa 48:7

With the east wind

You smash the ships of Tarshish.

Psa 48:8

Just as we have heard, so have we seen

In the city of the LORD of armies, in the city of our God;

God will establish her forever. Selah

Psa 48:9

We have thought over Your goodness, God,

In the midst of Your temple.

Psa 48:10

As is Your name, God,

So is Your praise to the ends of the earth;

Your right hand is full of righteousness.

Psa 48:11

Mount Zion shall be glad,

The daughters of Judah shall rejoice

Because of Your judgments.

Psa 48:12

Walk around Zion and encircle her;

Count her towers;

Psa 48:13

Consider her ramparts;

Go through her palaces,

So that you may tell of her to the next generation.

Psa 48:14

For [fn]such is God,

Our God forever and ever;

He will lead us [fn]until death.
