Psalms 48

Great(i) 1 A songe of a Psalme of the children of Corah Greate is the Lorde, & hyelye to be praysed, in the cytie of oure God, euen vpon his holy hyll. 2 The hyll of Sion is a fayre place, & the ioye of the whole earth: vpon the north syde lyeth the cytie of the great kyng. 3 God is well knowne in her palaces, as a sure refuge. 4 For lo, the kynges are gathered, & gone by together. 5 They marueled, to se soch thinges: they were astonied, and sodenly cast downe. 6 Feare came there vpon them, & sorowe, as vpon a woman in her trauayle. 7 Thou shalt breake the shyppes of the see, thorow the east wynde. 8 Lyke as we haue herd, so haue we sene in the cytie of the Lord of Hostes, in the cytie of oure God. God vpholdeth the same for euer. Sela. 9 We wayte for thy louyng kyndnesse (O God) in the myddest of thy temple. 10 (O God) accordyng vnto thy name, so is thy prayse vnto the worldes ende: thy ryght hand is full of ryghteousnes. 11 Let the mount Sion reioyse, and the daughters of Iuda be glad because of thy iudgementes. 12 Walke about Sion, and go round about her, and tell the towres therof. 13 Marcke well her bulworkes, set vp her houses, that ye maye tell them that come after. 14 For thys God is oure God for euer & euer, he shall be ouer gyde vnto death.
