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).

English Standard Version
Zion, the City of Our God
A Song. A Psalm of (A)the Sons of Korah.
48 (B)Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised
in (C)the city of our God!
His (D)holy mountain, 2 (E)beautiful in elevation,
is (F)the joy of all the earth,
Mount Zion, in the far north,
(G)the city of the great King.
3 Within her citadels God
has made himself known as a fortress.
4 For behold, (H)the kings assembled;
they came on together.
5 As soon as they saw it, they were astounded;
they were in panic; they took to flight.
6 (I)Trembling took hold of them there,
anguish (J)as of a woman in labor.
7 By (K)the east wind you (L)shattered
the ships of (M)Tarshish.
8 As we have heard, so have we seen
in the city of the Lord of hosts,
in (N)the city of our God,
which God will (O)establish forever. Selah
9 We have thought on your (P)steadfast love, O God,
in the midst of your temple.
10 As your (Q)name, O God,
so your praise reaches to (R)the ends of the earth.
Your right hand is filled with righteousness.
11 Let Mount (S)Zion be glad!
Let (T)the daughters of Judah rejoice
because of your judgments!
12 Walk about Zion, go around her,
number her towers,
13 consider well her (U)ramparts,
go through her citadels,
(V)that you may tell the next generation
14 that this is God,
our God forever and ever.
He will (W)guide us forever.[a]

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.
