48:1 A Song, a Psalm, by sons of Korah. Great [is] Jehovah, and praised greatly, In the city of our God--His holy hill. 48:2 Beautiful [for] elevation, A joy of all the land, [is] Mount Zion, The sides of the north, the city of a great king. 48:3 God in her high places is known for a tower. 48:4 For, lo, the kings met, they passed by together, 48:5 They have seen--so they have marvelled, They have been troubled, they were hastened away. 48:6 Trembling hath seized them there, Pain, as of a travailing woman. 48:7 By an east wind Thou shiverest ships of Tarshish.  48:8 As we have heard, so we have seen, In the city of Jehovah of hosts, In the city of our God, God doth establish her--to the age. Selah. 48:9 We have thought, O God, of Thy kindness, In the midst of Thy temple, 48:10 As [is] Thy name, O God, so [is] Thy praise, Over the ends of the earth, Righteousness hath filled Thy right hand. 48:11 Rejoice doth Mount Zion, The daughters of Judah are joyful, For the sake of Thy judgments. 48:12 Compass Zion, and go round her, count her towers, 48:13 Set your heart to her bulwark, Consider her high places, So that ye recount to a later generation, 48:14 That this God [is] our God--To the age and for ever, He--he doth lead us over death!
