Psalm 48 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

The Beauty and Glory of Zion.

A Song; a Psalm of the sons of Korah.

48 ^(A)Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised
In the ^(B)city of our God, His ^(C)holy mountain.
²^(D)Beautiful in elevation, ^(E)the joy of the whole earth,
Is Mount Zion in the far north,
The ^(F)city of the great King.
³In its palaces,
God has made Himself known as a ^(G)stronghold.

⁴For, behold, the ^(H)kings arrived,
They passed by together.
⁵They saw it, then they were amazed;
They were ^(I)terrified, they fled in a hurry.
⁶^[a]Panic seized them there,
Anguish, as that of ^(J)a woman in childbirth.
⁷With the ^(K)east wind
You ^(L)smash the ^(M)ships of Tarshish.
⁸Just as we have heard, so have we seen
In the city of the Lord of armies, in the city of our God;
God will ^(N)establish her forever. Selah

⁹We have thought over ^(O)Your goodness, God,
In the midst of Your temple.
¹⁰As is Your ^(P)name, God,
So is Your ^(Q)praise to the ends of the earth;
Your ^(R)right hand is full of righteousness.
¹¹Mount ^(S)Zion shall be glad,
The ^(T)daughters of Judah shall rejoice
Because of Your judgments.
¹²Walk around Zion and encircle her;
Count her ^(U)towers;
¹³Consider her ^(V)ramparts;
Go through her palaces,
So that you may ^(W)tell of her to the next generation.
¹⁴For ^[b]such is God,
Our God forever and ever;
He will ^(X)lead us ^[c]until death.
