Psalms [Praises] 48:1-6

¹Great is Adonai , 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 Mountain ridge, Marking, on the north sides, the city of the great King.

³In its citadels God has revealed himself as a strong defense.

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

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

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