Psalms 48:1-7

¹A 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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