| Chapter 48 |
1 | Great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised, In the city of our God, in his holy mountain. |
2 | Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, Is Mount Zion, on the north sides, The city of the great King. |
3 | God has shown himself in her citadels as a refuge. |
4 | For, behold, the kings assembled themselves, They passed by together. |
5 | They saw it, then were they amazed. They were dismayed, They hurried away. |
6 | Trembling took hold of them there, Pain, as of a woman in travail. |
7 | With the east wind, you break the ships of Tarshish. |
8 | As we have heard, so have we seen, In the city of Yahweh of Hosts, in the city of our God. God will establish it forever. Selah. |
9 | We have thought about your lovingkindness, God, In the midst of your temple. |
10 | As is your name, God, So is your praise to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is full of righteousness. |
11 | Let Mount Zion be glad! Let the daughters of Judah rejoice, Because of your judgments. |
12 | Walk about Zion, and go around her. Number the towers of it; |
13 | Mark well her bulwarks. Consider her palaces, That you may tell it to the next generation. |
14 | For this God is our God forever and ever. He will be our guide even to death. Psalm 49 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by the sons of Korah. |
