Psalm 48 New American Bible
| New American Bible Revised Edition |
The Splendor of the Invincible City
1A psalm of the Korahites.* A song.
I
2Great is the Lord and highly praised
in the city of our God:a
His holy mountain,
3fairest of heights,
the joy of all the earth,b
Mount Zion, the heights of Zaphon,*c
the city of the great king.
II
4God is in its citadel,
renowned as a stronghold.
5See! The kings assembled,
together they advanced.
6*When they looked they were astounded;
terrified, they were put to flight!d
7Trembling seized them there,
anguish, like a woman’s labor,e
8As when the east wind wrecks
the ships of Tarshish!*
III
9*What we had heard we have now seen
in the city of the Lord of hosts,
In the city of our God,
which God establishes forever.
Selah
10We ponder, O God, your mercy
within your temple
11Like your name, O God,
so is your praise to the ends of the earth.f
Your right hand is fully victorious.
12Mount Zion is glad!
The daughters of Judah rejoice
because of your judgments!g
