Psalms - Chapter 48

Chapter 47 | Psalms | Contents

1 | Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness.
2 | Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.
3 | God is known in her palaces for a refuge.
4 | For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together.
5 | They saw it, and so they marvelled; they were troubled, and hasted away.
6 | Fear took hold upon them there, and pain, as of a woman in travail.
7 | Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.
8 | As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. Selah.
9 | We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple.
10 | According to 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 rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments.
12 | Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell 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 even unto death.
