New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (nwt, en_US, 2013)
Psalm
Psalm, 48
A song. A melody of the sons of Korʹah.
1 Jehovah is great and most worthy of praise In the city of our God, in his holy mountain.
2 Beautiful in its loftiness, the joy of the whole earth, Is Mount Zion in the far north, The city of the Grand King.
3 In her fortified towers, God has made known that he is a secure refuge.*1
|
4 For look! kings have assembled;*1 Together they have advanced.
|
5 When they saw it, they were amazed. They panicked and fled in terror.
6 Trembling seized them there, Anguish like that of a woman giving birth.
7 With an east wind you wreck the ships of Tarʹshish.
8 What we heard about, we have now seen for ourselves In the city of Jehovah of armies, in the city of our God. God will firmly establish it forever. (Selah)
9 We ponder your loyal love, O God, Within your temple.
10 Like your name, O God, your praise Reaches to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is filled with righteousness.
11 May Mount Zion rejoice, May the towns*1 of Judah be joyful, because of your judgments.
|
12 March around Zion; go all around it; Count its towers.
13 Set your hearts upon its ramparts.*1 Inspect its fortified towers, So that you may tell about it to future generations.
|
14 For this God is our God forever and ever. He will guide us forevermore.*1
