King James VersionPsalms48

Psalms

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.
