Psalm 48New King James Version
The Glory of God in Zion
A Song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.
48 GreatistheLord, and greatly to be praised
In the(A)city of our God,
InHis holy mountain.
2 (B)Beautiful in[a]elevation,
The joy of the whole earth,
IsMount Ziononthe sides of the north,
The city of the great King.
3 Godisin her palaces;
He is known as her refuge.
4 For behold,(C)the kings assembled,
They passed by together.
5 They sawit, andso they marveled;
They were troubled, they hastened away.
6 Fear(D)took hold of them there,
Andpain, as of a woman in birth pangs,
7 As whenYou break the(E)ships of Tarshish
With an east wind.
8 As we have heard,
So we have seen
In the city of theLordof hosts,
In the city of our God:
God will(F)establish it forever.Selah
9 We have thought, O God, on(G)Your lovingkindness,
In the midst of Your temple.
10 According to(H)Your name, O God,
SoisYour praise to the ends of the earth;
Your right hand is full of righteousness.
11 Let Mount Zion rejoice,
Let the daughters of Judah be glad,
Because of Your judgments.
12 Walk about Zion,
And go all around her.
Count her towers;
13 Mark well her bulwarks;
Consider her palaces;
That you may(I)tellitto the generation following.
14 For thisisGod,
Our God forever and ever;
(J)He will be our guide
[b]Evento death.
