Psalm 48

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

7 like ships tossing in a furious storm.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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