1(48-1) A Song; a Psalm of the sons of Korah. (48-2) Great is the LORD, and highly to be praised, in the city of our God, His holy mountain,
2(48-3) Fair in situation, the joy of the whole earth; even mount Zion, the uttermost parts of the north, the city of the great King.
3(48-4) God in her palaces hath made Himself known for a stronghold.
4(48-5) For, lo, the kings assembled themselves, they came onward together.
5(48-6) They saw, straightway they were amazed; they were affrighted, they hasted away.
6(48-7) Trembling took hold of them there, pangs, as of a woman in travail.
7(48-8) With the east wind Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish.
8(48-9) As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God — God establish it for ever. Selah
