Psalm 48
New International Version
Psalm 48[a]
A song. A psalm of the Sons of Korah.
1 Great is the Lord,(A) and most worthy of praise,(B)
in the city of our God,(C) his holy mountain.(D)
2 Beautiful(E) in its loftiness,
the joy of the whole earth,
like the heights of Zaphon[b](F) is Mount Zion,(G)
the city of the Great King.(H)
3 God is in her citadels;(I)
he has shown himself to be her fortress.(J)
4 When the kings joined forces,
when they advanced together,(K)
5 they saw her and were astounded;
they fled in terror.(L)
6 Trembling seized(M) them there,
pain like that of a woman in labor.(N)
7 You destroyed them like ships of Tarshish(O)
shattered by an east wind.(P)
8 As we have heard,
so we have seen
in the city of the Lord Almighty,
in the city of our God:
God makes her secure
forever.[c](Q)
9 Within your temple, O God,
we meditate(R) on your unfailing love.(S)
10 Like your name,(T) O God,
your praise reaches to the ends of the earth;(U)
your right hand is filled with righteousness.
11 Mount Zion rejoices,
the villages of Judah are glad
because of your judgments.(V)
12 Walk about Zion, go around her,
count her towers,(W)
13 consider well her ramparts,(X)
view her citadels,(Y)
that you may tell of them
to the next generation.(Z)
14 For this God is our God for ever and ever;
he will be our guide(AA) even to the end.

Hermosura y gloria de Sión
Cántico. Salmo de los hijos de Coré.
48 Grande es el Señor, y muy digno de ser alabado(A)
en la ciudad de nuestro Dios(B), su santo monte(C).
2 Hermoso en su elevación(D), el gozo de toda la tierra(E)
es el monte Sión, en el extremo norte,
la ciudad del gran Rey(F).
3 Dios en sus palacios
se dio a conocer como baluarte(G).
4 Pues, he aquí, los reyes se reunieron(H);
pasaron juntos.
5 Ellos la vieron y quedaron pasmados;
se aterrorizaron(I) y huyeron alarmados.
6 Allí se apoderó de ellos un temblor;
dolor como el de mujer que está de parto(J).
7 Con el viento solano(K)
tú destrozas las naves de Tarsis(L).
8 Como lo hemos oído, así lo hemos visto
en la ciudad del Señor de los ejércitos, en la ciudad de nuestro Dios;
Dios la afirmará para siempre(M). (Selah[a])
9 En tu misericordia, oh Dios, hemos meditado(N),
en medio de tu templo.
10 Oh Dios, como es tu nombre(O),
así es tu alabanza(P) hasta los confines de la tierra;
llena de justicia está tu diestra(Q).
11 Alégrese el monte Sión,
regocíjense las hijas de Judá(R),
a causa de tus juicios.
12 Andad por Sión e id alrededor de ella;
contad sus torres(S);
13 considerad atentamente sus murallas(T),
recorred sus palacios,
para que lo contéis a la generación venidera(U).
14 Porque este es Dios,
nuestro Dios por siempre jamás;
Él nos guiará hasta la muerte[b](V).

New King James Version
The Glory of God in Zion
A Song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.
48 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised
In the (A)city of our God,
In His holy mountain.
2 (B)Beautiful in [a]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 in her palaces;
He is known as her refuge.
4 For behold, (C)the kings assembled,
They passed by together.
5 They saw it, and so they marveled;
They were troubled, they hastened away.
6 Fear (D)took hold of them there,
And pain, as of a woman in birth pangs,
7 As when You break the (E)ships of Tarshish
With an east wind.
8 As we have heard,
So we have seen
In the city of the Lord of hosts,
In the city of our God:
God will (F)establish it forever. Selah
9 We have thought, O God, on (G)Your lovingkindness,
In the midst of Your temple.
10 According to (H)Your name, O God,
So is Your praise to the ends of the earth;
Your right hand is full of righteousness.
11 Let Mount Zion rejoice,
Let the daughters of Judah be glad,
Because of Your judgments.
12 Walk about Zion,
And go all around her.
Count her towers;
13 Mark well her bulwarks;
Consider her palaces;
That you may (I)tell it to the generation following.
14 For this is God,
Our God forever and ever;
(J)He will be our guide
[b]Even to death.

Psalm 48
Zion Exalted
A song. A psalm of the sons of Korah.
1 The Lord is great and highly praised
in the city of our God.(A)
His holy mountain, 2 rising splendidly,
is the joy of the whole earth.
Mount Zion on the slopes of the north
is the city of the great King.(B)
3 God is known as a stronghold
in its citadels.(C)
4 Look! The kings assembled;
they advanced together.(D)
5 They looked and froze with fear;
they fled in terror.(E)
6 Trembling seized them there,
agony like that of a woman in labor,(F)
7 as You wrecked the ships of Tarshish
with the east wind.(G)
8 Just as we heard, so we have seen
in the city of Yahweh of Hosts,
in the city of our God;
God will establish it forever.(H)
9 God, within Your temple,
we contemplate Your faithful love.(I)
10 Your name, God, like Your praise,
reaches to the ends of the earth;(J)
Your right hand is filled with justice.(K)
11 Mount Zion is glad.
The towns[a] of Judah rejoice
because of Your judgments.(L)
12 Go around Zion, encircle it;
count its towers,
13 note its ramparts; tour its citadels
so that you can tell a future generation:(M)
14 “This God, our God forever and ever—
He will always lead us.”[b](N)

48 Canción: Salmo de los hijos de Coré. GRANDE es Jehová y digno de ser en gran manera alabado, En la ciudad de nuestro Dios, en el monte de su santuario.
2 Hermosa provincia, el gozo de toda la tierra Es el monte de Sión, á los lados del aquilón, La ciudad del gran Rey.
3 Dios en sus palacios es conocido por refugio.
4 Porque he aquí los reyes de la tierra se reunieron; Pasaron todos.
5 Y viéndola ellos así, maravilláronse, Se turbaron, diéronse priesa á huir.
6 Tomólos allí temblor; Dolor, como á mujer que pare.
7 Con viento solano Quiebras tú las naves de Tharsis.
8 Como lo oímos, así hemos visto En la ciudad de Jehová de los ejércitos, en la ciudad de nuestro Dios: Afirmarála Dios para siempre. (Selah.)
9 Esperamos tu misericordia, oh Dios, En medio de tu templo.
10 Conforme á tu nombre, oh Dios, Así es tu loor hasta los fines de la tierra: De justicia está llena tu diestra.
11 Alegraráse el monte de Sión; Se gozarán las hijas de Judá Por tus juicios.
12 Andad alrededor de Sión, y rodeadla: Contad sus torres.
13 Poned vuestro corazón á su antemuro, Mirad sus palacios; Para que lo contéis á la generación venidera.
14 Porque este Dios es Dios nuestro eternalmente y para siempre: El nos capitaneará hasta la muerte.
