| # Chapter 48
| A Song, a Psalm, by sons of Korah. Great [is] Jehovah, and praised greatly, In the city of our God -- His holy hill.
| Beautiful [for] elevation, A joy of all the land, [is] Mount Zion, The sides of the north, the city of a great king.
| God in her high places is known for a tower.
| For, lo, the kings met, they passed by together,
| They have seen -- so they have marvelled, They have been troubled, they were hastened away.
| Trembling hath seized them there, Pain, as of a travailing woman.
| By an east wind Thou shiverest ships of Tarshish.
| As we have heard, so we have seen, In the city of Jehovah of hosts, In the city of our God, God doth establish her -- to the age. Selah.
| We have thought, O God, of Thy kindness, In the midst of Thy temple,
| As [is] Thy name, O God, so [is] Thy praise, Over the ends of the earth, Righteousness hath filled Thy right hand.
| Rejoice doth Mount Zion, The daughters of Judah are joyful, For the sake of Thy judgments.
| Compass Zion, and go round her, count her towers,
| Set your heart to her bulwark, Consider her high places, So that ye recount to a later generation,
| That this God [is] our God -- To the age and for ever, He -- he doth lead us over death!
