48:1  A song of the sons of Korah. The Eternal is great and mighty, worthy of great praise in the city of our True God, upon His holy mountain.
48:2  Situated high above, Mount Zion is beautiful to see, the pleasure of the entire earth. Mount Zion, in the north, is the city of the great King.

48:4  Not long ago, enemy kings gathered together and moved forward as one to attack the city.

48:8  As we have heard stories of Your greatness, now we have also seen it with our own eyes right here, in the city of the Eternal, the Commander of heavenly armies. Right here, in our God’s city, the True God will preserve her forever. [pause]
48:9  We have meditated upon Your loyal love, O God, within Your holy temple.

48:13  Reflect upon her defenses; stroll through her palaces So that you can tell the coming generation all about her.
48:14  For so is God, our True God, forever and ever; He will be our guide till the end.
