AMP ▾Psalms ▾48 ▾Psalms 481Great is the L ord , and greatly to be praised, In the city of our God, His holy mountain.2Fair and beautiful in elevation, the joy of all the earth, Is Mount Zion [the City of David] in the far north, The city of the great King. [Matt 5:35]3God, in her palaces, Has made Himself known as a stronghold.4¶For, lo, the kings assembled themselves, They [came and] passed by together.5They saw it, then they were amazed; They were stricken with terror, they fled in alarm.6Panic seized them there, And pain, as that of a woman in childbirth.7With the east wind You shattered the ships of Tarshish.8As we have heard, so have we seen In the city of the L ord of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish her forever. Selah.9¶We have thought of Your lovingkindness, O God, In the midst of Your temple.10As is Your name, O God, So is Your praise to the ends of the earth; Your right hand is full of righteousness (rightness, justice).11Let Mount Zion be glad, Let the daughters of Judah rejoice Because of Your [righteous] judgments.12Walk about Zion, go all around her; Count her towers,13Consider her ramparts, Go through her palaces, That you may tell the next generation [about her glory].14For this is God, Our God forever and ever; He will be our guide even until death.Psalms 47Psalms 49
