JPS - Psalms - 48

48:1  A Song; a Psalm of the sons of Korah.

48:2  Great is HaShem, and highly to be praised, in the city of our G-d, His holy mountain,

48:3  Fair in situation, the joy of the whole earth; even mount Zion, the uttermost parts of the north, the city of the great King.

48:4  G-d in her palaces hath made Himself known for a stronghold.

48:5  For, lo, the kings assembled themselves, they came onward together.

48:6  They saw, straightway they were amazed; they were affrighted, they hasted away.

48:7  Trembling took hold of them there, pangs, as of a woman in travail.

48:8  With the east wind Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish.

48:9  As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of HaShem of hosts, in the city of our G-d--G-d establish it for ever. Selah

48:10  We have thought on Thy lovingkindness, O G-d, in the midst of Thy temple.

48:11  As is Thy name, O G-d, so is Thy praise unto the ends of the earth; Thy right hand is full of righteousness.

48:12  Let mount Zion be glad, let the daughters of Judah rejoice, because of Thy judgments.

48:13  Walk about Zion, and go round about her; count the towers thereof.

48:14  Mark ye well her ramparts, traverse her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following.

48:15  For such is G-d, our G-d, for ever and ever; He will guide us eternally.
