The Book of Psalms 48

Text size

1 Great is the LORD and greatly to be praised in the city of our God in the mountain of his holiness ⚑

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 ⚑

3 God is known in her palaces for a refuge ⚑

4 For lo the kings were assembled they passed by together ⚑

5 They saw it and so they marvelled they were troubled and hasted away ⚑

6 Fear took hold upon them there and pain as of a woman in travail ⚑

7 Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind ⚑

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 ⚑

9 We have thought of thy lovingkindness O God in the midst of thy temple ⚑

10 According to thy name O God so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth thy right hand is full of righteousness ⚑

11 Let mount Zion rejoice let the daughters of Judah be glad because of thy judgments ⚑

12 Walk about Zion and go round about her tell the towers thereof ⚑

13 Mark ye well her bulwarks consider her palaces that ye may tell it to the generation following ⚑

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