48[A song. A psalm of the descendants of Korah.] How great is the LORD, how deserving of praise, in the city of our God, which sits on his holy mountain!H7892H4210H1121H7141H1419H3068H3966H1984H5892H430H2022H69442It is high and magnificent; the whole earth rejoices to see it! Mount Zion, the holy mountain, is the city of the great King!H3303H5131H4885H776H2022H6726H3411H6828H7151H7227H44283God himself is in Jerusalem's towers, revealing himself as its defender.H430H3045H759H48694The kings of the earth joined forces and advanced against the city.H4428H3259H5674H31625But when they saw it, they were stunned; they were terrified and ran away.H7200H8539H926H26486They were gripped with terror and writhed in pain like a woman in labor.H7461H270H2427H32057You destroyed them like the mighty ships of Tarshish shattered by a powerful east wind.H7665H591H8659H6921H73078We 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.

Your strong right hand is filled with victory.H8034H430H8416H7099H776H3225H4390H666411Let the people on Mount Zion rejoice. Let all the towns of Judah be glad because of your justice.H2022H6726H8055H1323H3063H1523H494112Go, inspect the city of Jerusalem. Walk around and count the many towers.H5437H6726H5362H5608H402613Take note of the fortified walls, and tour all the citadels, that you may describe them to future generations.H7896H3820H2430H6448H759H5608H1755H31414For that is what God is like. He is our God forever and ever, and he will guide us until we die.H430H430H5769H5703H5090H4192
