Psalms - Chapter 48 | American Standard Version

  • 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.
  • 2. Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, Is mount Zion, {cf15i on} the sides of the north, The city of the great King.
  • 3. God hath made himself known in her palaces for a refuge.
  • 4. For, lo, the kings assembled themselves, They passed by together.
  • 5. They saw it, then were they amazed; They were dismayed, they hasted away.
  • 6. Trembling took hold of them there, Pain, as of a woman in travail.
  • 7. With the east wind Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish.
  • 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. {cf15i Selah.}
  • 9. We have thought on thy lovingkindness, O God, In the midst of thy temple.
  • 10. As is thy name, O God, So is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: Thy right hand is full of righteousness.
  • 11. Let mount Zion be glad, Let the daughters of Judah rejoice, Because of thy judgments.
  • 12. Walk about Zion, and go round about her; Number the towers thereof;
  • 13. Mark ye well her bulwarks; Consider her palaces: That ye may tell it to the generation following.
  • 14. For this God is our God for ever and ever: He will be our guide {cf15i even} unto death.
