Psalms 48:3-11

³Once God made himself known as the defence of her palaces.

⁴For see! A concert of kings passed over the frontier together.

⁵But one glance, and they were astounded; they hastened away in dismay.

⁶Trembling took hold of them there, like the pains of a woman in labor.

⁷They were shattered, as east wind shatters the giant ships in pieces.

⁸What we heard, we now have seen in the city of the Lord of hosts, the city of our God. God will uphold her forever. Selah

⁹We think, O God, of your love, in the midst of your temple.

¹⁰Your fame, O God, like your name, shall extend to the ends of the earth. Victory fills your hand.

¹¹Let mount Zion be glad; let the daughters of Judah rejoice because of your judgments.
