Psalm 48
Great is the LORD, and most worthy of praise,
in the city of our God, his holy mountain.
It is beautiful in its loftiness,
the joy of the whole earth.
Like the utmost heights of Zaphons Mount Zion,
.
God is in her citadels;
he is her fortress.
the city of the Great King
When the kings joined forces,
when they advanced together,
they saw her and were astounded
Trembling seized them there,
pain like that of a woman in labor.
You destroyed them like ships of Tarshish
shattered by an east wind.
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
Within your temple, O God,
we meditate on your love.
Like your name,
your praise reaches to the ends of the earth;
Mount Zion rejoices,
the villages of Judah are glad
because of your judgments.
your right hand is filled with righteousness
Walk about Zion, go around her,
count her towers,
consider well her ramparts,
view her citadels,
tell the next generation.
this God is our God who will guard us forever
