Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised,
In the city of our God, His holy mountain.

Psa 48:2Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth,
Is Mount Zion in the far north,
The city of the great King.

Has made Himself known as a stronghold.

Psa 48:4

Psa 48:4For, lo, the kings assembled themselves,
They passed by together.

Psa 48:5They saw it, then they were amazed;
They were terrified, they [fn]fled in alarm.

Psa 48:6

Psa 48:6[fn]Panic seized them there,
Anguish, as of a woman in childbirth.

Psa 48:7

Psa 48:7With the east wind
You break the ships of Tarshish.

In the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God;
God will establish her forever. [fn]Selah.

In the midst of Your temple.

Psa 48:10As is Your name, O God,
So is Your praise to the ends of the earth;
Your right hand is full of righteousness.

Psa 48:11

Psa 48:11Let Mount Zion be glad,
Let the daughters of Judah rejoice
Because of Your judgments.

Psa 48:12

Psa 48:12Walk about Zion and go around her;
Count her towers;

Psa 48:13

Psa 48:13Consider her ramparts;
Go through her palaces,
That you may tell it to the next generation.

Psa 48:14

Psa 48:14For [fn]such is God,
Our God forever and ever;
He will guide us [fn]until death.
