Psalms 48

WEB · Bible Passage

Bible Text

[1] > Great is Yahweh, 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, on the north sides, The city of the great King. [3] God has shown himself in her citadels as a refuge. [4] For, behold, the kings assembled themselves, They passed by together. [5] They saw it, then they were amazed. They were dismayed, They hurried away. [6] Trembling took hold of them there, Pain, as of a woman in travail. [7] With the east wind, you break the ships of Tarshish. [8] As we have heard, so we have seen, In the city of Yahweh of Hosts, in the city of our God. God will establish it forever. Selah. [9] We have thought about your loving kindness, God, In the midst of your temple. [10] As is your name, God, So is your praise to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is full of righteousness. [11] Let Mount Zion be glad! Let the daughters of Judah rejoice, Because of your judgments. [12] Walk about Zion, and go around her. Number its towers; [13] Mark well her bulwarks. Consider her palaces, That you may tell it to the next generation. [14] For this God is our God forever and ever. He will be our guide even to death.
