Psalms 48: 2 - 8
|
| 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 shown himself a sure defense.
|
| 4
|
For lo, 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 travail.
|
| 7
|
By the east wind thou didst shatter 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 establishes for ever. [Selah]
