Psalms - Chapter 48 | New International Version

  • 1. {A song. A psalm of the Sons of Korah.} Great is the LORD, and most worthy of praise, in the city of our God, his holy mountain.
  • 2. It is beautiful in its loftiness, the joy of the whole earth. Like the utmost heights of Zaphon is Mount Zion, the city of the Great King.
  • 3. God is in her citadels; he has shown himself to be her fortress.
  • 4. When the kings joined forces, when they advanced together,
  • 5. they saw her and were astounded; they fled in terror.
  • 6. Trembling seized them there, pain like that of a woman in labor.
  • 7. You destroyed them like ships of Tarshish shattered by an east wind.
  • 8. As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD Almighty, in the city of our God: God makes her secure forever. Selah
  • 9. Within your temple, O God, we meditate on your unfailing love.
  • 10. Like your name, O God, your praise reaches to the ends of the earth; your right hand is filled with righteousness.
  • 11. Mount Zion rejoices, the villages of Judah are glad because of your judgments.
  • 12. Walk about Zion, go around her, count her towers,
  • 13. consider well her ramparts, view her citadels, that you may tell of them to the next generation.
  • 14. For this God is our God for ever and ever; he will be our guide even to the end.
