A song. A melody of the sons of Korʹah.
48 Jehovah is great and most worthy of praise
In the city of our God, in his holy mountain.
2 Beautiful in its loftiness, the joy of the whole earth,
Is Mount Zion in the far north,
The city of the Grand King.
3 In her fortified towers,
God has made known that he is a secure refuge.*
4 For look! kings have assembled;*
Together they have advanced.
5 When they saw it, they were amazed.
They panicked and fled in terror.
6 Trembling seized them there,
Anguish like that of a woman giving birth.
7 With an east wind you wreck the ships of Tarʹshish.
8 What we heard about, we have now seen for ourselves
In the city of Jehovah of armies, in the city of our God.
God will firmly establish it forever. (Selah)
9 We ponder your loyal love, O God,
Within your temple.
10 Like your name, O God, your praise
Reaches to the ends of the earth.
Your right hand is filled with righteousness.
11 May Mount Zion rejoice,
May the towns* of Judah be joyful, because of your judgments.
12 March around Zion; go all around it;
Count its towers.
13 Set your hearts upon its ramparts.*
Inspect its fortified towers,
So that you may tell about it to future generations.
14 For this God is our God forever and ever.
He will guide us forevermore.*
