Psalms 48
Reading Psalms chapter 48 in the Darby Bible, public-domain text from 1890.
Verses 1–10
1 Great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised in the city of ourGod, in the hill of his holiness.
2 Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, [on] the sides of the north, the city of the great King.
3 God is known in her palaces as a high fortress.
4 For behold, the kings assembled themselves, they passed by together;
5 They saw, — so they marvelled; they were troubled, they fled in consternation:
6 Trembling took hold upon them there; anguish, as of a woman in travail.
7 With an east wind thou hast broken the ships of Tarshish.
8 As we have heard, so have we seen, in the city of Jehovah of hosts, in the city of ourGod:God doth establish it for ever. Selah.
9 We have thought, OGod, of thy loving-kindness, in the midst of thy temple.
10 According to thy name, OGod, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.
