Psalms 48:4-14 ▼

4 For behold, the kings assembled; they passed over together.

5 They saw, so they were astonished; they were in dismay, and they hurried away.

6 Trembling took hold of them there, and writhing like a woman in labor.

7 With a wind of the east you broke apart the ships of Tarshish.

8 According to what we have heard, so we have seen, in the city of YHWH of Hosts, in the city of our God; God will establish her even to forever! Selah

9 we have reflected, O God, on Your loving devotion, within Your temple.

10 According to Your name, O God, so Your praise is unto the ends of the earth; Your right hand is full of righteousness.

11 Let Mount Zion be glad; let the daughters of Judah rejoice, on account of Your judgments!

12 Go around Zion and encircle her, and count her towers.

13 Set your⁺ heart toward her bulwark, pass between her citadels, so that you⁺ may recount it to the following generation.

14 For this is God, Our God, forever and ever! He will lead us over death.
