Psalms 48

1 The Lord is great and is to be highly praised in the city of our God, on his sacred hill.

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

2 Zion, the mountain of God, is high and beautiful; the city of the great king brings joy to all the world.

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 has shown that there is safety with him inside the fortresses of the city.

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

4 The kings gathered together and came to attack Mount Zion.

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

5 But when they saw it, they were amazed; they were afraid and ran away.

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

6 There they were seized with fear and anguish, like a woman about to bear a child,

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

7 like ships tossing in a furious storm.

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

8 We have heard what God has done, and now we have seen it in the city of our God, the Lord Almighty; he will keep the city safe forever.

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 Inside your Temple, O God, we think of your constant love.

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

10 You are praised by people everywhere, and your fame extends over all the earth. You rule with justice;

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

11 let the people of Zion be glad! You give right judgments; let there be joy in the cities of Judah!

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

12 People of God, walk around Zion and count the towers;

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

13 take notice of the walls and examine the fortresses, so that you may tell the next generation:

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

14 "This God is our God forever and ever; he will lead us for all time to come."

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