# Psalm 48 A Song. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah.
<a id="1" name="1"></a>
1. Great is the LORD and greatly to be praised in the city of our God! His holy mountain,
<a id="2" name="2"></a>
2. beautiful in elevation, is the joy of all the earth, Mount Zion, in the far north, the city of the great King.
<a id="3" name="3"></a>
3. Within her citadels God has made himself known as a fortress.
<a id="4" name="4"></a>
4. For behold, the kings assembled; they came on together.
<a id="5" name="5"></a>
5. As soon as they saw it, they were astounded; they were in panic; they took to flight.
<a id="6" name="6"></a>
6. Trembling took hold of them there, anguish as of a woman in labor.
<a id="7" name="7"></a>
7. By the east wind you shattered the ships of Tarshish.
<a id="8" name="8"></a>
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 will establish forever. Selah
<a id="9" name="9"></a>
9. We have thought on your steadfast love, O God, in the midst of your temple.
<a id="10" name="10"></a>
10. As your name, O God, so your praise reaches to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is filled with righteousness.
<a id="11" name="11"></a>
11. Let Mount Zion be glad! Let the daughters of Judah rejoice because of your judgments!
<a id="12" name="12"></a>
12. Walk about Zion, go around her, number her towers,
<a id="13" name="13"></a>
13. consider well her ramparts, go through her citadels, that you may tell the next generation
<a id="14" name="14"></a>
14. that this is God, our God forever and ever. He will guide us forever.
(ESV)
