Psalms 48:2-14

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 is known in her palaces as a high fortress.

⁴For behold, the kings assembled themselves, they passed by together;

⁵They saw, — so they marvelled; they were troubled, they fled in consternation:

⁶Trembling took hold upon them there; anguish, as of a woman in travail.

⁷With an east wind thou hast broken the ships of Tarshish.

⁸As we have heard, so have we seen, in the city of Jehovah of hosts, in the city of our God: God doth establish it for ever. Selah.

⁹We have thought, O God, of thy loving-kindness, in the midst of thy temple.

¹⁰According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.

¹¹Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments.

¹²Walk about Zion, and go round about her: count the towers thereof;

¹³Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces: that ye may tell it to the generation following.

¹⁴For this God is our God for ever and ever; he will be our guide until death.
