Chapter 48
1 A Song and Psalm for the sons of Korah. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised{H8794)} 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{H8738)} in her palaces for a refuge.
4 For, lo, the kings were assembled{H8738)}, they passed by{H8804)} together.
5 They saw{H8804)} it, and so they marvelled{H8804)}; they were troubled{H8738)}, and hasted away{H8738)}.
6 Fear took hold{H8804)} upon them there, and pain, as of a woman in travail{H8802)}.
7 Thou breakest{H8762)} the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.
8 As we have heard{H8804)}, so have we seen{H8804)} in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish{H8787)} it for ever. Selah.
9 We have thought{H8765)} 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{H8804)} of righteousness.
11 Let mount Zion rejoice{H8799)}, let the daughters of Judah be glad{H8799)}, because of thy judgments.
12 Walk about{H8798)} Zion, and go round about{H8685)} her: tell{H8798)} the towers thereof.
13 Mark{H8798)} ye well her bulwarks, consider{H8761)} her palaces; that ye may tell{H8762)} it to the generation following.
14 For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide{H8762)} even unto death.
