# Chapter 48
|
||
1 The Lord is great and highly praised
|
||
in the city of our God.
|
||
His holy mountain,
|
||
2 rising splendidly,
|
||
is the joy of the whole earth.
|
||
Mount Zion—the summit of Zaphon—
|
||
is the city of the great King.
|
||
3 God is known as a stronghold
|
||
in its citadels.
|
||
4 Look! The kings assembled;
|
||
they advanced together.
|
||
5 They looked and froze with fear;
|
||
they fled in terror.
|
||
6 Trembling seized them there,
|
||
agony like that of a woman in labor,
|
||
7 as you wrecked the ships of Tarshish
|
||
with the east wind.
|
||
8 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
|
||
9 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 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.” |
