Psalm 48
Zion Exalted

A song. A psalm of the sons of Korah.

The LORD is great and highly praised

in the city of our God.

His holy mountain, rising splendidly,

is the joy of the whole earth.

Mount Zion ​— ​the summit of Zaphon ​— ​

is the city of the great King.

God is known as a stronghold

in its citadels.

Look! The kings assembled;

they advanced together.

They looked and froze with fear;

they fled in terror.

Trembling seized them there,

agony like that of a woman in labor,

as you wrecked the ships of Tarshish

with the east wind.

Just as we 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

God, within your temple,

we contemplate your faithful love.

10 Like your name, God, so your praise

reaches to the ends of the earth;

your right hand is filled with justice.

11 Mount Zion is glad.

Judah’s villages[fn] rejoice

because of your judgments.

12 Go around Zion, encircle it;

count its towers,

13 note its ramparts; tour its citadels

so that you can tell a future generation:

14 “This God, our God forever and ever —

he will always lead us.”[fn]
