Psalm 48 - The Scriptures 2009

¹ Great is יהוה, and greatly to be praised In the city of our Elohim, His set-apart mountain.

² Beautiful on high, The joy of all the earth, Is Mount Tsiyon on the sides of the north, The city of the great Sovereign.

³ Elohim is in her citadels; He is known as her refuge.

⁴ For look, the sovereigns met, They passed by together.

⁵ They saw, so they marvelled; They were alarmed, they hastened away.

⁶ Trembling took hold of them there, Pain, as of a woman in labour,

⁷ With an east wind You break the ships of Tarshish.

⁸ As we have heard, so we have seen In the city of יהוה of hosts, In the city of our Elohim, Elohim establishes her forever. Selah.

⁹ We have thought, O Elohim, of Your loving-commitment, In the midst of Your Hĕḵal.

¹⁰ According to Your Name, O Elohim, So is Your praise to the ends of the earth; Your right hand is filled with righteousness.

¹¹ Let Mount Tsiyon rejoice, Let the daughters of Yehuḏah exult, Because of Your right-rulings.

¹² Walk about Tsiyon, And go all around her. Count her towers;

¹³ Set your heart upon her rampart; Go through her citadels; So that you report it to the coming generation.

¹⁴ For this Elohim is our Elohim, Forever and ever; He Himself leads us, Even to death.
