Psalms 48

PSALM 48
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
A Song and Psalm for the sons of Korah.
1Great is the Lord, and greatly he
is to be praised still,
Within the city of our God,
upon his holy hill.
2Mount Sion stands most beautiful,
the joy of all the land;
The city of the mighty King
on her north side doth stand.
3The Lord within her palaces
is for a refuge known.
4For, lo, the kings that gather'd were
together, by have gone.
5But when they did behold the same,
they, wond'ring, would not stay;
But, being troubled at the sight,
they thence did haste away.
6Great terror there took hold on them;
they were possess'd with fear;
Their grief came like a woman's pain,
when she a child doth bear.
7Thou Tarshish ships with east wind break'st:
8As we have heard it told,
So, in the city of the Lord,
our eyes did it behold;
In our God's city, which his hand
for ever stablish will.
9We of thy loving-kindness thought,
Lord, in thy temple still.
10O Lord, according to thy name,
through all the earth's thy praise;
And thy right hand, O Lord, is full
of righteousness always.
11Because thy judgments are made known,
let Sion mount rejoice;
Of Judah let the daughters all
send forth a cheerful voice.
12Walk about Sion,
and go round; the high tow'rs thereof tell:
13Consider ye her palaces,
and mark her bulwarks well;
That ye may tell posterity.
14For this God doth abide
Our God for evermore; he will
ev'n unto death us guide.

Tehillim 48
48
(Shir. Mizmor. Of the Bnei Korach)
1 Gadol is Hashem, and greatly to be praised in the Ir Eloheinu, in His Har Kodesh.
2 Yafeh in its loftiness, the joy of kol ha'aretz, is Mt Tziyon, on the sides of the north, the City of Melech Rav.
3 Elohim is in her citadels, known as her fortress.
4 For, hinei, the melachim were assembled, they advanced together.
5 They saw, and ken (thus) they marvelled; they were troubled, and fled.
6 Trembling took hold upon them sham (there), and pain, as of a woman in labor.
7 Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.
8 As we have heard, so have we seen in the Ir Hashem Tzva'os, in the Ir Eloheinu; Elohim will establish it ad olam. Selah
9 We meditate on Thy chesed, O Elohim, in the midst of Thy Heikhal.
10 According to Thy Shem, O Elohim, so is Thy tehillah unto the ends of ha'aretz; Thy right hand is full of tzedek.
11 Let Mt Tziyon rejoice, let the Banot Yehudah (Daughters of Judah) be glad, because of Thy mishpatim.
12 Walk about Tziyon, and go around her; count the towers thereof.
13 Mark ye well her ramparts, consider her citadels; that ye may tell it to the dor acharon.
14 For this Elohim is Eloheinu olam vaed; He will be our guide even unto death.#48:14 T.N. Notice Ps 49:8-9 [9-10], which tells why Moshiach can not be a mere man, in which case he could not redeem another, or be Hashemʼs Isa 53 redemption lamb or the Isa 53 sa'ir l'azazel kapporah.
