| # Chapter 48
#### 1 | A 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.
#### 2 | Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, Is mount Zion, [on] the sides of the north, The city of the great King.
#### 3 | God hath made himself known in her palaces for a refuge.
#### 4 | For, lo, the kings assembled themselves, They passed by together.
#### 5 | They saw it, then were they amazed; They were dismayed, they hasted away.
#### 6 | Trembling took hold of them there, Pain, as of a woman in travail.
#### 7 | With the east wind Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish.
#### 8 | As we have heard, so have we seen In the city of Jehovah of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. Selah
#### 9 | We have thought on thy lovingkindness, O God, In the midst of thy temple.
#### 10 | As is thy name, O God, So is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: Thy right hand is full of righteousness.
#### 11 | Let mount Zion be glad, Let the daughters of Judah rejoice, Because of thy judgments.
#### 12 | Walk about Zion, and go round about her; Number the towers thereof;
#### 13 | Mark ye well her bulwarks; Consider her palaces: That ye may tell it to the generation following.
#### 14 | For this God is our God for ever and ever: He will be our guide [even] unto death.
