          DASV: Psalm 48    

A Song, a psalm of the Sons of Korah

1 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised,
     in the city of our God on his holy mountain.
2 It is high and beautiful,
     the joy of the whole earth.
            Mount Zion is like the peaks of Mount Zaphon,
     the city of the great King.
3 God is within her citadels;
     he has shown himself to be its defender.

4 The kings assembled,
     they invaded together.
5 When they saw it, they were amazed;
     they were terrified and ran away.
6 Trembling took hold of them there,
     like the pain of a woman in labor,
7 like you shatter the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.

8 As we have heard, now we have seen
     in the city of the LORD of hosts,
            in the city of our God.
      God will establish it forever. Selah
9 We have thought about your loyal love, O God,
     in the midst of your temple.
10 Like your name, O God,
     your praise extends to the ends of the earth;
            your right hand is full of righteousness.
11 Let Mount Zion be glad,
     let the towns of Judah rejoice
            because of your judgments.

12 Walk around Zion,
     go all the way around it,
            number its towers,
13 mark well her fortified walls,
     pass by its fortresses,
            that you may tell it to the next generation.
14 For this God is our God forever and ever;
     he will be our guide even to death.
