Psalms 48 LSV

1. A SONG. A PSALM OF THE SONS OF KORAH. Great is YHWH, and greatly praised, in the city of our God—His holy hill.

2. Beautiful for elevation, a joy of all the land, is Mount Zion, the sides of the north, the city of the great King.

3. God is known for a tower in her high places.

4. For behold, the kings met, they passed by together,

5. They have seen—so they have marveled, they have been troubled, they were hurried away.

6. Trembling has seized them there, pain, as of a travailing woman.

7. By an east wind You shatter ships of Tarshish.

8. As we have heard, so we have seen, in the city of YHWH of hosts, in the city of our God, God establishes her for all time. Selah.

9. We have thought, O God, of Your kindness, in the midst of Your temple,

10. As is Your Name, O God, so is Your praise, over the ends of the earth, righteousness has filled Your right hand.

11. Mount Zion rejoices, the daughters of Judah are joyful, for the sake of Your judgments.

12. Surround Zion, and go around her, count her towers,

13. Set your heart to her bulwark, consider her high places, so that you recount to a later generation,

14. That this God is our God—For all time and forever, he leads us over death!
