Psalms 48:1-7 ▼

1 A Song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. Great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised, In the city of our God, His holy mountain.

2 Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, Is Mount Zion in the far north, The city of the great King.

3 God, in her palaces, Has made Himself known as a stronghold.

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

5 They saw it, then they were astonished; They were dismayed, they fled in alarm.

6 Panic seized them there, Anguish, as of a woman in childbirth.

7 With the east wind You break the ships of Tarshish.
