Psalms 48
1A Song; a Psalm of the sons of Korah. 2Great is HaShem, and highly to be praised, in the city of our G-d, His holy mountain, 3Fair in situation, the joy of the whole earth; even mount Zion, the uttermost parts of the north, the city of the great King. 4G-d in her palaces hath made Himself known for a stronghold. 5For, lo, the kings assembled themselves, they came onward together. 6They saw, straightway they were amazed; they were affrighted, they hasted away. 7Trembling took hold of them there, pangs, as of a woman in travail. 8With the east wind Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish. 9As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of HaShem of hosts, in the city of our G-d--G-d establish it for ever. Selah 10We have thought on Thy lovingkindness, O G-d, in the midst of Thy temple. 11As is Thy name, O G-d, so is Thy praise unto the ends of the earth; Thy right hand is full of righteousness. 12Let mount Zion be glad, let the daughters of Judah rejoice, because of Thy judgments. 13Walk about Zion, and go round about her; count the towers thereof. 14Mark ye well her ramparts, traverse her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following. 15For such is G-d, our G-d, for ever and ever; He will guide us eternally.
