# Psalms 48 [[Psalms 47|←]] • [[Psalms 49|→]] --- A Song Psalm for the sons of Korah. ### 1 Great the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, the mountain of his holiness. ### 2 Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, mount Zion, the sides of the north, the city of the great King. ### 3 God is known in her palaces for a refuge. ### 4 For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together. ### 5 They saw so they marvelled; they were troubled, hasted away. ### 6 Fear took hold upon them there, pain, as of a woman in travail. ### 7 Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind. ### 8 As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. Selah. ### 9 We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple. ### 10 According to thy name, O God, so thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness. ### 11 Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments. ### 12 Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers thereof. ### 13 Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell to the generation following. ### 14 For this God our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide unto death.
