Psalm 48

The Glory and Strength of Zion

A Song. A Psalm of the Korahites.

1 # Ps 96.4; Zech 8.3 Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised

in the city of our God.

His holy mountain, 2#Ps 50.2; Lam 2.15; Mt 5.35beautiful in elevation,

is the joy of all the earth,

Mount Zion, in the far north,

the city of the great King.

3 # Ps 46.7 Within its citadels God

has shown himself a sure defense.

4 # 2 Sam 10.6–19 Then the kings assembled;

they came on together.

5 # Ex 15.15 As soon as they saw it, they were astounded;

they were in panic; they took to flight;

6trembling took hold of them there,

pains as of a woman in labor,

7 # Jer 18.17 as when an east wind shatters

the ships of Tarshish.

8As we have heard, so have we seen

in the city of the Lord of hosts,

in the city of our God,

which God establishes forever. Selah

9We ponder your steadfast love, O God,

in the midst of your temple.

10 # Josh 7.9; Isa 41.10 Your name, O God, like your praise,

reaches to the ends of the earth.

Your right hand is filled with victory.

11 # Ps 97.8 Let Mount Zion be glad;

let the towns#48.11 Heb daughters of Judah rejoice

because of your judgments.

12Walk about Zion; go all around it;

count its towers;

13 # Ps 78.5–7; 122.7 consider well its ramparts;

go through its citadels,

that you may tell the next generation

14 # Ps 23.4 that this is God,

our God forever and ever.

He will be our guide forever.
