Psalms 48

The ornaments and privileges of the Church.

 48:1 ¶ [[A Song; a Psalm of the sons of Korah.]] Great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised, In the city of our God, in his holy mountain.

 48:2 Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, Is mount Zion, [on] the sides of the north, The city of the great King.

 48:3 God hath made himself known in her palaces for a refuge.

 48:4 For, lo, the kings assembled themselves, They passed by together.

 48:5 They saw it, then were they amazed; They were dismayed, they hasted away.

 48:6 Trembling took hold of them there, Pain, as of a woman in travail.

 48:7 With the east wind Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish.

 48:8 As we have heard, so have we seen In the city of Jehovah of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. Selah.

 48:9 We have thought on thy lovingkindness, O God, In the midst of thy temple.

 48:10 As is thy name, O God, So is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: Thy right hand is full of righteousness.

 48:11 Let mount Zion be glad, Let the daughters of Judah rejoice, Because of thy judgments.

 48:12 Walk about Zion, and go round about her; Number the towers thereof;

 48:13 Mark ye well her bulwarks; Consider her palaces: That ye may tell it to the generation following.

 48:14 For this God is our God for ever and ever: He will be our guide [even] unto death.
