Psalms 48

1 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness. Study

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. Study

3 God is known in her palaces for a refuge. Study

4 For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together. Study

5 They saw it, and so they marvelled; they were troubled, and hasted away. Study

6 Fear took hold upon them there, and pain, as of a woman in travail. Study

7 Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind. Study

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. Study

9 We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple. Study

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

11 Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments. Study

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

13 Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following. Study

14 For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death. Study
