Psalms • Chapter 48

1 For the music director. A psalm of the sons of Korah. The Lord is supreme! He deserves praise in the city of our God (Elohim) on his holy mountain. 2 Mount Zion is high and beautiful, bringing happiness to all the earth; on the northern side is the city of the great King. 3 God (Elohim) himself is in the city's fortresses; he is recognized as its defender. 4 They shook all over, and were in agonizing pain like a woman giving birth, 5 Just as we had heard, but now we have seen the city of the Lord Almighty. This is the city of our God (Elohim); he makes it secure forever. Selah. 6 God (Elohim), we recall your trustworthy love as we worship in the Temple. 7 As is fitting for your reputation, God (Elohim), praises to you stretch all around the world. What you do is always right! 8 Let the people of Mount Zion be glad; let the people of Judah celebrate because your judgments are always fair! 9 Go and take a look at Zion. Count the towers as you walk around. 10 Inspect the fortifications. Examine the citadels, so you can describe everything to the next generation, telling them: 11 “This is who our God (Elohim) is. He is our God (Elohim) forever and ever. He himself will lead us until the very end.”
