³For the Lord is most high, awful;

A great King over all the earth.

⁴He subdueth peoples under us,

And nations under our feet.

⁵He chooseth our inheritance for us,

The pride of Jacob whom He loveth. Selah

 

⁶God is gone up amidst shouting,

The Lord amidst the sound of the horn.

⁷Sing praises to God, sing praises;

Sing praises unto our King, sing praises.

 

⁸For God is the King of all the earth;

Sing ye praises in a skilful song.

⁹God reigneth over the nations;

God sitteth upon His holy throne.

 

¹⁰The princes of the peoples are gathered together,

The people of the God of Abraham;

For unto God belong the shields of the earth;

He is greatly exalted.

48 A Song; a Psalm of the sons of Korah.

²Great is the Lord, and highly to be praised,

In the city of our God, His holy mountain,

³Fair in situation, the joy of the whole earth;

Even mount Zion, the uttermost parts of the north,

The city of the great King.

⁴God in her palaces

Hath made Himself known for a stronghold.

 

⁵For, lo, the kings assembled themselves,

They came onward together.

⁶They saw, straightway they were amazed;

They were affrighted, they hasted away.

⁷Trembling took hold of them there,

Pangs, as of a woman in travail.

⁸With the east wind

Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish.

⁹As we have heard, so have we seen

In the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God—

God establish it for ever. Selah

 

¹⁰We have thought on Thy lovingkindness, O God,

In the midst of Thy temple.

¹¹As is Thy name, O God,

So is Thy praise unto the ends of the earth;

Thy right hand is full of righteousness.

¹²Let mount Zion be glad,

Let the daughters of Judah rejoice,

Because of Thy judgments.

¹³Walk about Zion, and go round about her;

Count the towers thereof.

¹⁴Mark ye well her ramparts,

Traverse her palaces;

That ye may tell it to the generation following.

¹⁵For such is God, our God, for ever and ever;

He will guide us eternally.

49 For the Leader; a Psalm of the sons of Korah.

²Hear this, all ye peoples;

Give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world,

³Both low and high,

Rich and poor together.

⁴My mouth shall speak wisdom,

And the meditation of my heart shall be understanding.

⁵I will incline mine ear to a parable;
