48:1 A Song; a Psalm of the sons of Korah. Great is the LORD, and highly to be praised, in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.
48:2 Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.
48:3 God hath made himself known in her palaces for a refuge.
48:4 For, lo, the kings assembled themselves, they passed by together.
48:5 They saw it, then were they amazed; they were dismayed, they hasted away.
48:6 Trembling took hold of them there; pain, as of a woman in travail.
48:7 With the east wind thou breakest the ships of Tarshish.
48:8 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
48:9 We have thought on thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple.
48:10 As is thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.
48:11 Let mount Zion be glad, let the daughters of Judah rejoice, because of thy judgments.
48:12 Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers thereof.
48:13 Mark ye welt her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following.
48:14 For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.
