48:2 Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, Is Mount Zion, on the north sides, The city of the great King.

48:3 God has shown himself in her citadels as a refuge.

48:4 For, behold, the kings assembled themselves, They passed by together.

48:5 They saw it, then were they amazed. They were dismayed, They hurried away.

48:6 Trembling took hold of them there, Pain, as of a woman in travail.

48:7 With the east wind, you break the ships of Tarshish.

48:8 As we have heard, so have we seen, In the city of Yahweh of Hosts, in the city of our God. God will establish it forever. Selah.

48:9 We have thought about your lovingkindness, God, In the midst of your temple.

48:10 As is your name, God, So is your praise to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is full of righteousness.

48:11 Let Mount Zion be glad! Let the daughters of Judah rejoice, Because of your judgments.

48:12 Walk about Zion, and go around her. Number the towers of it;

48:13 Mark well her bulwarks. Consider her palaces, That you may tell it to the next generation.
