Psalms 48:1-7

MSG

NIV

1 God majestic, praise abounds in our God-city! His sacred mountain,
1 Great is the LORD, and most worthy of praise, in the city of our God, his holy mountain.
2 breathtaking in its heights - earth's joy. Zion Mountain looms in the North, city of the world-King.
2 Beautiful in its loftiness, the joy of the whole earth, like the heights of Zaphon is Mount Zion, the city of the Great King.
3 God in his citadel peaks impregnable.
3 God is in her citadels; he has shown himself to be her fortress.
4 The kings got together, they united and came.
4 When the kings joined forces, when they advanced together,
5 They took one look and shook their heads, they scattered and ran away.
5 they saw her and were astounded; they fled in terror.
6 They doubled up in pain like a woman having a baby.
6 Trembling seized them there, pain like that of a woman in labor.
7 You smashed the ships of Tarshish with a storm out of the East.
7 You destroyed them like ships of Tarshish shattered by an east wind.
