| Song of Zion. Psalm 48(v47) | |||
| 1 | Great is Yahweh and greatly to be praised in the city of our God! His holy mountain, | ||
| 2 | beautiful in elevation, is the joy of all the earth, Mount Zion, in the far north, the city of the great King. | ||
| 3 | Within her citadels God has shown himself a sure defence. | ||
| 4 | For lo, the kings assembled, they came on together. | ||
| 5 | As soon as they saw it, they were astounded, they were in panic, they took to flight; | ||
| 6 | trembling took hold of them there, anguish as of a woman in travail. | ||
| 7 | By the east wind you shattered the ships of Tarshish. | ||
| 8 | As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of Yahweh of hosts, in the city of our God, which God establishes for ever. | ||
| 9 | We have thought on your steadfast love, O God, in the midst of your temple. | ||
| 10 | As your name, O God, so your praise reaches to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is filled with victory; | ||
| 11 | let Mount Zion be glad! Let the daughters of Judah rejoice because of your judgments! | ||
| 12 | Walk about Zion, go round about her, number her towers, | ||
| 13 | consider well her ramparts, go through her citadels; that you may tell the next generation | ||
| 14 | that this is God, our God for ever and ever. He will be our guide for ever. | ||
