Psalms 48:1-9
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 48
1
Great is the
Lord
, and greatly to be praised
In the city of our God, His holy mountain.
2
Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth,
Is Mount Zion
in
the far north,
The city of the great King.
3
In its palaces,
God has made Himself known as a stronghold.
4
For, behold, the kings arrived,
They passed by together.
5
They saw
it,
then they were amazed;
They were terrified, they fled in a hurry.
6
Panic seized them there,
Anguish, as
that
of a woman in childbirth.
7
With the east wind
You smash the ships of Tarshish.
8
Just as we have heard, so have we seen
In the city of the
Lord
of armies, in the city of our God;
God will establish her forever.
Selah
9
We have thought over Your goodness, God,
In the midst of Your temple.
King James Version
Chapter 48
1
A Song and Psalm for the sons of Korah. Great is the
Lord
, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness.
2
Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.
3
God is known in her palaces for a refuge.
4
For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together.
5
They saw it, and so they marvelled; they were troubled, and hasted away.
6
Fear took hold upon them there, and pain, as of a woman in travail.
7
Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.
8
As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the
Lord
of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. Selah.
9
We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 48
1
A song. A psalm of the sons of Korah.
The
Lord
is great and highly praised
in the city of our God.
His holy mountain,
2
rising splendidly,
is the joy of the whole earth.
Mount Zion—the summit of Zaphon—
is the city of the great King.
3
God is known as a stronghold
in its citadels.
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.
New Living Translation
Chapter 48
1
How great is the
Lord
,
how deserving of praise,
in the city of our God,
which sits on his holy mountain!
2
It is high and magnificent;
the whole earth rejoices to see it!
Mount Zion, the holy mountain,
is the city of the great King!
3
God himself is in Jerusalem’s towers,
revealing himself as its defender.
4
The kings of the earth joined forces
and advanced against the city.
5
But when they saw it, they were stunned;
they were terrified and ran away.
6
They were gripped with terror
and writhed in pain like a woman in labor.
7
You destroyed them like the mighty ships of Tarshish
shattered by a powerful east wind.
8
We had heard of the city’s glory,
but now we have seen it ourselves —
the city of the
Lord
of Heaven’s Armies.
It is the city of our God;
he will make it safe forever.
Interlude
9
O God, we meditate on your unfailing love
as we worship in your Temple.
English Standard Version
Chapter 48
1
Great is the
Lord
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 made himself known as a fortress.
4
For behold, 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 labor.
7
By the east wind you shattered
the ships of Tarshish.
8
As we have heard, so have we seen
in the city of the
Lord
of hosts,
in the city of our God,
which God will establish forever.
Selah
9
We have thought on your steadfast love, O God,
in the midst of your temple.
New International Version
Chapter 48
1
A song. A psalm of the Sons of Korah.
Great is the
Lord
, and most worthy of praise,
in the city of our God, his holy mountain.
2
Beautiful in its loftiness,
the joy of the whole earth,
like the heights of Zaphon is Mount Zion,
the city of the Great King.
3
God is in her citadels;
he has shown himself to be her fortress.
4
When the kings joined forces,
when they advanced together,
5
they saw her and were astounded;
they fled in terror.
6
Trembling seized them there,
pain like that of a woman in labor.
7
You destroyed them like ships of Tarshish
shattered by an east wind.
8
As we have heard,
so we have seen
in the city of the
Lord
Almighty,
in the city of our God:
God makes her secure
forever.
9
Within your temple, O God,
we meditate on your unfailing love.
