48:1  Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised, In the city of our God, His holy mountain.

48:2  Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, Is Mount Zion {in} the far north, The city of the great King.

48:3  God, in her palaces, Has made Himself known as a stronghold.

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

48:5  They saw {it,} then they were amazed; They were terrified, they fled in alarm.

48:6  Panic seized them there, Anguish, as of a woman in childbirth.

48:7  With the east wind You break the ships of Tarshish.

48:8  As we have heard, so have we seen In the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God; God will establish her forever. Selah.

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

48:10  As is Your name, O God, So is Your praise to the ends of the earth; Your right hand is full of righteousness.

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

48:12  Walk about Zion and go around her; Count her towers;

48:13  Consider her ramparts; Go through her palaces, That you may tell {it} to the next generation.

48:14  For such is God, Our God forever and ever; He will guide us until death.
