48:1 （可拉後裔的詩歌。）耶和華本為大！在我們上帝的城中，在他的聖山上，該受大讚美。
48:2 錫安山─大君王的城，在北面居高華美，為全地所喜悅。
48:3 上帝在其宮中，自顯為避難所。
48:4 看哪，眾王會合，一同經過。
48:5 他們見了這城就驚奇喪膽，急忙逃跑。
48:6 他們在那裡被戰兢疼痛抓住，好像產難的婦人一樣。
48:7 上帝啊，你用東風打破他施的船隻。
48:8 我們在萬軍之耶和華的城中─就是我們上帝的城中─所看見的，正如我們所聽見的。上帝必堅立這城，直到永遠。（細拉）
48:9 上帝啊，我們在你的殿中想念你的慈愛。
48:10 上帝啊，你受的讚美正與你的名相稱，直到地極！你的右手滿了公義。
48:11 因你的判斷，錫安山應當歡喜，猶大的城邑（原文是女子）應當快樂。
48:12 你們當周遊錫安，四圍旋繞，數點城樓，
48:13 細看她的外郭，察看她的宮殿，為要傳說到後代。
48:14 因為這上帝永永遠遠為我們的上帝；他必作我們引路的，直到死時。

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.
in the city of our God, his holy mountain.
2 Beautiful
in its loftiness,
the joy of the whole earth,
like the heights of Zaphon[b] is Mount Zion,
the city of the Great King.
3 God is in her citadels;
he has shown himself to be her fortress.
the joy of the whole earth,
like the heights of Zaphon[b] is Mount Zion,
the 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.
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 we have seen
in the city of the Lord Almighty,
in the city of our God:
God makes her secure
forever.[c]
so we have seen
in the city of the Lord Almighty,
in the city of our God:
God makes her secure
forever.[c]
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.
we meditate on your unfailing love.

11 Mount Zion rejoices,

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.

13 consider well her ramparts,

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

世上的王是和上帝為仇的，因為他們的心中認為自己最大，是不容許其他勢力超過他們，也就是說他們是自我中心，當然不能容下上帝的權能，尤其是上帝的攝理大功。
但是，上帝的威嚴當然超越過事上的君王，因為他是創造主，人在他的面前又算不得什麼，世上的王也是人，也是受造之物。他們看見上帝之城的榮光，都十分戰驚！所以詩人在這裡說：「看哪，眾王會合，一同經過。他們見了這城就驚奇喪膽，急忙逃跑。他們在那裡被戰兢疼痛抓住，好像產難的婦人一樣。」
然而上帝對於所愛的兒女，卻是用慈悲憐憫來對待他們。就像我們到教會的時候，所感受到的是：上帝的慈愛是永不改變的！因為上帝喜悅我們，帶領我們與祂有美好的關係，祂絕對不離棄祂所愛的兒女！祂的應許必定成就，上帝的國必完全實現！
