Berean Standard Bible

Psalms 48:1-8

1Great is the LORD,and greatly to be praisedin the city of our God,His holy mountain.2Beautiful in loftiness,the joy of all the earth,like the peaks of Zaphon1 is Mount Zion,the city of the great King.3God is in her citadels;He has shown Himself to be a fortress.

4For behold, the kings assembled;they all advanced together.5They saw and were astounded;they fled in terror.6Trembling seized them there,anguish like a woman in labor.7With a wind from the eastYou wrecked the ships of Tarshish.2

8As we have heard, so we have seenin the city of the LORD of Hosts,in the city of our God:God will establish her forever.Selah
