Psalms 48

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 The LORD is great. He should be highly praised. His holy mountain is in the city of our God.

2 Its beautiful peak is the joy of the whole earth. Mount Zion is on the northern ridge. It is the city of the great king.

3 God is in its palaces. He has proved that he is a stronghold.

4 The kings have gathered. They marched together.

5 [When] they saw [Mount Zion], they were astonished. They were terrified and ran away in fear.

6 Trembling seized them like the trembling that a woman experiences during labor.

7 With the east wind you smash the ships of Tarshish.

8 The things we had only heard about, we have now seen in the city of the LORD of Armies, in the city of our God. God makes Zion stand firm forever. Selah

9 Inside your temple we carefully reflect on your mercy, O God.

10 Like your name, O God, your praise [reaches] to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is filled with righteousness.

11 Let Mount Zion be glad and the cities of Judah rejoice because of your judgments.

12 Walk around Zion. Go around it. Count its towers.

13 Examine its embankments. Walk through its palaces. Then you can tell the next generation,

14 "This God is our God forever and ever. He will lead us beyond death."

New International Version NIV

1 Great is the LORD, and most worthy of praise, in the city of our God, his holy mountain.

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 is in her citadels; he has shown himself to be her fortress.

4 When the kings joined forces, when they advanced together,

5 they saw her and were astounded; they fled in terror.

6 Trembling seized them there, pain like that of a woman in labor.

7 You destroyed them like ships of Tarshish shattered by an east wind.

8 As we have heard, so we have seen in the city of the LORD Almighty, in the city of our God: God makes her secure forever.

9 Within your temple, O God, we meditate on your unfailing love.

10 Like your name, O God, your praise reaches to the ends of the earth; your right hand is filled with righteousness.

11 Mount Zion rejoices, the villages of Judah are glad because of your judgments.

12 Walk about Zion, go around her, count her towers,

13 consider well her ramparts, view her citadels, that you may tell of them to the next generation.

14 For this God is our God for ever and ever; he will be our guide even to the end.
