Psalms and Wisdom: Psalm 48 Psalm 48 (Listen) Zion, the City of Our God A Song. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah. 48   Great is the LORD and greatly to be praised<br />    in the city of our God!<br />  His holy mountain, 2 beautiful in elevation,<br />    is the joy of all the earth,<br />  Mount Zion, in the far north,<br />    the city of the great King.<br />3   Within her citadels God<br />    has made himself known as a fortress.<br /> 4   For behold, the kings assembled;<br />    they came on together.<br />5   As soon as they saw it, they were astounded;<br />    they were in panic; they took to flight.<br />6   Trembling took hold of them there,<br />    anguish as of a woman in labor.<br />7   By the east wind you shattered<br />    the ships of Tarshish.<br />8   As we have heard, so have we seen<br />    in the city of the LORD of hosts,<br />  in the city of our God,<br />    which God will establish forever. Selah<br />
