Psalm 48:5-14 English Standard Version (ESV)

5. As soon as they saw it, they were astounded;they were in panic; they took to flight.

6. Trembling took hold of them there,anguish as of a woman in labor.

7. By the east wind you shatteredthe ships of Tarshish.

8. As we have heard, so have we seenin the city of the Lord of hosts,in the city of our God,which God will establish forever. Selah

9. We have thought on your steadfast love, O God,in the midst of your temple.

10. As your name, O God,so your praise reaches to the ends of the earth.Your right hand is filled with righteousness.

11. Let Mount Zion be glad!Let the daughters of Judah rejoicebecause of your judgments!

12. Walk about Zion, go around her,number her towers,

13. consider well her ramparts,go through her citadels, that you may tell the next generation

14. that this is God,our God forever and ever.He will guide us forever.
