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 (Psalms) 48
48
1Great is יהוה, and greatly to be praised In the city of our Elohim, His set-apart mountain.
2Beautiful on high, The joy of all the earth, Is Mount Tsiyon on the sides of the north, The city of the great Sovereign.
3Elohim is in her citadels; He is known as her refuge.
4For look, the sovereigns met, They passed by together.
5They saw, so they marvelled; They were alarmed, they hastened away.
6Trembling took hold of them there, Pain, as of a woman in labour,
7With an east wind You break the ships of Tarshish.
8As we have heard, so we have seen In the city of יהוה of hosts, In the city of our Elohim, Elohim establishes her forever. Selah.
9We have thought, O Elohim, of Your loving-commitment, In the midst of Your Hĕḵal.
10According to Your Name, O Elohim, So is Your praise to the ends of the earth; Your right hand is filled with righteousness.
11Let Mount Tsiyon rejoice, Let the daughters of Yehuḏah exult, Because of Your right-rulings.
12Walk about Tsiyon, And go all around her. Count her towers;
13Set your heart upon her rampart; Go through her citadels; So that you report it to the coming generation.
14For this Elohim is our Elohim, Forever and ever; He Himself leads us, Even to death.
