Psalm 48

Psalm 48

A song. A psalm of the Sons of Korah.

1 Great is the LORD, and most worthy of praise,
in the city of our God, his holy mountain.

2 It is beautiful in its loftiness,
the joy of the whole earth.
Like the utmost heights of Zaphon ^[a] is Mount Zion,
the ^[b] city of the Great King.

3 God is in her citadels;
he has shown himself to be her fortress.

4 When the kings joined forces,
when they advanced together,

5 they saw her and were astounded;
they fled in terror.

6 Trembling seized them there,
pain like that of a woman in labor.

7 You destroyed them like ships of Tarshish
shattered by an east wind.

8 As we have heard,
so have we seen
in the city of the LORD Almighty,
in the city of our God:
God makes her secure forever.
Selah

9 Within your temple, O God,
we meditate on your unfailing love.

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

11 Mount Zion rejoices,
the villages of Judah are glad
because of your judgments.

12 Walk about Zion, go around her,
count her towers,

13 consider well her ramparts,
view her citadels,
that you may tell of them to the next generation.

14 For this God is our God for ever and ever;
he will be our guide even to the end.

Crow: Today the Lord says to me that he is with me, and he will be my guide even to the end... and at today's service.. it brought me back to the simple loving relationship with our dear Lord Jesus.... i loved the psalm we sang "in the garden"... it speaks so much of the Lord's walking with us and talking with us, so close to us... and His great love for us as he says we are his own.... thank u Lord...

Chin Ling: Great is the Lord. Weak and small is me. I know i can leave my success and failures in his hands.

Dellia: The Lord reminds me to mediate on His unfailing love as I worship Him! (V9). You know after a while, we tend to just worship Him and we forget to MEDIATE on His word and more importantly of His unfailing love! Not just love...but UNFAILING LOVE! That's where we can have the strength to love others!
