Salmo 48

¹ Great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the hill of his holiness. ² Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King. ³ God is known in her palaces as a high fortress. ⁴ For behold, the kings assembled themselves, they passed by together; ⁵ They saw, --so they marvelled; they were troubled, they fled in consternation: ⁶ Trembling took hold upon them there; anguish, as of a woman in travail. ⁷ With an east wind thou hast broken the ships of Tarshish.

⁸ As we have heard, so have we seen, in the city of Jehovah of hosts, in the city of our God: God doth establish it for ever. Selah. ⁹ We have thought, O God, of thy loving-kindness, in the midst of thy temple. ¹⁰ According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness. ¹¹ Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments. ¹² Walk about Zion, and go round about her: count the towers thereof; ¹³ Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces: that ye may tell it to the generation following. ¹⁴ For this God is our God for ever and ever; he will be our guide until death.
