God Makes Kings Tremble
Listen to "Psalms 48 (God makes the kings of the earth tremble)" on Spreaker.

A Psalm of praise for the sons of Core on the second day of the week

1 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in his holy mountain. 2 The city of the great King is well planted on the mountains of Sion, with the joy of the whole earth, on the sides of the north. 3 God is known in her palaces, when he undertakes to help her.

4 For, behold, the kings of the earth were assembled, they came together. 5 They saw, and so they wondered: they were troubled, they were moved. 6 Trembling took hold on them: there were the pangs as of a woman in travail. 7 Thou wilt break the ships of Tharsis with a vehement wind. 8 As we have heard, so have we also seen, in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God: God has founded it for ever. Pause.

9 We have thought of thy mercy, O God, in the midst of thy people. 10 According to thy name, O God. so is also thy praise to the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness. 11 Let mount Sion rejoice, let the daughters of Judeae exult, because of thy judgements, O Lord.

12 Go round about Sion, and encompass her: tell ye her towers. 13 Mark ye well her strength, and observe her palaces; that ye may tell the next generation. 14 For this is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide for evermore.
