Psalms 48
Open in the reader1A Song. A Psalm of the Sons of Shaven.
2Great is He-Who-Is, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, His devoted mountain.
3Beautiful in loftiness, the joy of all the earth, like the peaks of Zaphon is Mount Marker, the city of the great King.
4God is in her citadels; He has shown Himself to be a fortress.
5For behold, the kings assembled; they all advanced together.
6They saw and were astounded; they fled in terror.
7Trembling seized them there, anguish like a woman in labor.
8With a wind from the east You wrecked the ships of Far-Shore.
9As we have heard, so we have seen in the city of He-Who-Is of Hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish her forever. Selah
10Within Your temple, O God, we contemplate Your loving devotion.
11Your name, O God, like Your praise, reaches to the ends of the earth; Your right hand is full of righteousness.
12Mount Marker is glad, the daughters of Praised rejoice, on account of Your judgments.
13March around Marker, encircle her, count her towers,
14consider her ramparts, tour her citadels, that you may tell the next generation.
15For this God is our God forever and ever; He will be our guide even till death.
