Psalms 48
Reading Psalms chapter 48 in the World English Bible, public-domain text from 2000.
Verses 1–10
1 A Song. A Psalm by the sons of Korah. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised, in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.
2 Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion, on the north sides, the city of the great King.
3 God has shown himself in her citadels as a refuge.
4 For, behold, the kings assembled themselves, they passed by together.
5 They saw it, then they were amazed. They were dismayed. They hurried away.
6 Trembling took hold of them there, pain, as of a woman in travail.
7 With the east wind, you break the ships of Tarshish.
8 As we have heard, so we have seen, in the city of the LORD of Armies, in the city of our God. God will establish it forever. Selah.
9 We have thought about your loving kindness, God, in the middle of your temple.
10 As is your name, God, so is your praise to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is full of righteousness.
