RSV Psalms 48 Chapter
48:1
A Song. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah. Great is the LORD and greatly to be praised in the city of our God! His holy mountain,
48:2
beautiful in elevation, is the joy of all the earth, Mount Zion, in the far north, the city of the great King.
48:3
Within her citadels God has shown himself a sure defense.
48:4
For lo, the kings assembled, they came on together.
48:5
As soon as they saw it, they were astounded, they were in panic, they took to flight;
48:6
trembling took hold of them there, anguish as of a woman in travail.
48:7
By the east wind thou didst shatter 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, which God establishes for ever. [Selah]
48:9
We have thought on thy steadfast love, O God, in the midst of thy temple.
48:10
As thy name, O God, so thy praise reaches to the ends of the earth. Thy right hand is filled with victory;
48:11
let Mount Zion be glad! Let the daughters of Judah rejoice because of thy judgments!
48:12
Walk about Zion, go round about her, number her towers,
48:13
consider well her ramparts, go through her citadels;that you may tell the next generation
48:14
that this is God, our God for ever and ever. He will be our guide for ever.
