PSALM 48
1 The song of psalm, of the sons of Korah. The Lord is great, and worthy to be praised full much; in the city of our God, in the holy hill of him.
2 It is founded in the full out joying of all earth; the hill of Zion, the sides of the north, the city of the great king.
3 God shall be known in the houses thereof; when he shall take it.
4 For lo! the kings of earth were gathered together; they came into one place.
5 They seeing, so wondered; they were troubled, they were moved altogether,
6 trembling took them. There sorrows, as of a woman travailing of child;
7 in a great spirit thou shalt all-break the ships of Tarshish.
8 As we heard, so we saw, in the city of the Lord of virtues, in the city of our God; God hath founded that city without end.
9 God, we have received thy mercy; in the midst of thy temple.
10 After thy name, God, so thy praising is spread abroad into the ends of earth; thy right hand is full of rightwiseness.
11 The hill of Zion be glad, and the daughters of Judah be fully joyful [or full out joy]; for thy dooms, Lord.
12 Compass ye Zion, and embrace ye it; tell ye in the towers thereof.
13 Set ye your hearts in the virtue of him; and part ye the houses of him, that ye tell out in another generation.
14 For this is God, our God, into without end, and into the world of world; he shall govern us into worlds.
