48:001

A Song; a Psalm of the sons of Korah

48:002

Great is HaShem, and highly to be praised, in the city of our G-d, His holy mountain

48:003

Fair in situation, the joy of the whole earth; even mount Zion, the uttermost parts of the north, the city of the great King

48:004

G-d in her palaces hath made Himself known for a stronghold

48:005

For, lo, the kings assembled themselves, they came onward together

48:006

They saw, straightway they were amazed; they were affrighted, they hasted away

48:007

Trembling took hold of them there, pangs, as of a woman in travail

48:008

With the east wind Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish

48:009

As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of HaShem of hosts, in the city of our G-d--G-d establish it for ever. Sela

48:010

We have thought on Thy lovingkindness, O G-d, in the midst of Thy temple

48:011

As is Thy name, O G-d, so is Thy praise unto the ends of the earth; Thy right hand is full of righteousness

48:012

Let mount Zion be glad, let the daughters of Judah rejoice, because of Thy judgments

48:013

Walk about Zion, and go round about her; count the towers thereof

48:014

Mark ye well her ramparts, traverse her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following

48:015

For such is G-d, our G-d, for ever and ever; He will guide us eternally
