Psalms Chapter 48

48 : 1 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness.

48 : 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.

48 : 3 God is known in her palaces for a refuge.

48 : 4 For, see, the kings were assembled, they passed by together.

48 : 5 They saw it, and so they marveled; they were troubled, and hurried away.

48 : 6 Fear took hold on them there, and pain, as of a woman in travail.

48 : 7 You break the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.

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 of your loving kindness, O God, in the middle of your temple.

48 : 10 According to your name, O God, so is your praise to the ends of the earth: your right hand is full of righteousness.

48 : 11 Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of your judgments.

48 : 12 Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers thereof.

48 : 13 Mark you well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that you 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 to death.
