Psalm 48
A Song and Psalm for the sons of Korah.
1 Great is Jehovah, and he is
to be praised greatly
within the city of our God,
in his mountain holy.
2 For situation beautiful,
the joy of the whole earth
mount Zion; the great King’s city
on the sides of the north.
3 God in her palaces is known
to be a refuge high.
4 For lo, the kings assembl’d were:
they past together by.
5 They saw, and so they marveled,
were troubl’d, fled for fear.
6 Trembling seiz’d on them there and pain
like her that child doth bear.
7 The navies that of Tarshish are
in pieces thou breakest:
ev’n with a very blast of wind
coming out of the east.
8 As we heard, so we saw within
the Lord of hosts’ city,
in our God’s city, God will it
stablish eternally. Selah.
9 O God, we have had thoughts upon
thy free benignity,
within the very middle part
of thy temple holy.
10 According to thy name, O God,
so is thy praise unto
the ends of earth: thy right hand’s full
of righteousness also.
