Bible, King James Version
Psalms
Pss.48
[1] Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the
city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness.
[2] Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth,
is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great
King.
[3] God is known in her palaces for a refuge.
[4] For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by
together.
[5] They saw it, and so they marvelled; they were
troubled, and hasted away.
[6] Fear took hold upon them there, and pain, as of a
woman in travail.
[7] Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east
wind.
[8] As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the
LORD of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for
ever. Selah.
[9] We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God, in the
midst of thy temple.
[10] According to 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 rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be
glad, because of thy judgments.
[12] Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell 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.
