Psalms 48

1Great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised, In the city of our God, in his holy mountain.● 2Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, Is mount Zion, `on' the sides of the north, The city of the great King.● 3God hath made himself known in her palaces for a refuge.● 4For, lo, the kings assembled themselves, They passed by together.● 5They saw it, then were they amazed; They were dismayed, they hasted away.● 6Trembling took hold of them there, Pain, as of a woman in travail.● 7With the east wind Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish.● 8As 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● 9We have thought on thy lovingkindness, O God, In the midst of thy temple.● 10As is thy name, O God, So is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: Thy right hand is full of righteousness.● 11Let mount Zion be glad, Let the daughters of Judah rejoice, Because of thy judgments.● 12Walk about Zion, and go round about her; Number the towers thereof;● 13Mark ye well her bulwarks; Consider her palaces: That ye may tell it to the generation following.● 14For this God is our God for ever and ever: He will be our guide `even' unto death. Psalm 49 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.●
