Psalms 48:4-14 ▼

4 Look! The kings assembled; they advanced together.

5 They looked and froze with fear; they fled in terror.

6 Trembling seized them there, agony like that of a woman in labor,

7 as you wrecked the ships of Tarshish with the east wind.

8 Just as we heard, so we have seen in the city of the LORD of Armies, in the city of our God; God will establish it forever. Selah

9 God, within your temple, we contemplate your faithful love.

10 Like your name, God, so your praise reaches to the ends of the earth; your right hand is filled with justice.

11 Mount Zion is glad. Judah’s villages rejoice because of your judgments.

12 Go around Zion, encircle it; count its towers,

13 note its ramparts; tour its citadels so that you can tell a future generation:

14 “This God, our God forever and ever — he will always lead us.”
