Psalms 48 - EasyEnglish Bible 2024（EASY）

Psalm 48This is a psalm that the sons of Korah wrote.Zion is God's own city

1The Lord is great.

He deserves people to praise him

in the city of our God,

on his holy mountain.

2That place is high up and it is beautiful.

It brings joy to the whole world.

Mount Zion is the city of the great King.

It is where the true God lives.

3God is there in its strong places

and he keeps the city safe.

4Look! There are kings of other nations

who join together to attack our city.

5But when they come near and they see it,

they are very surprised.

It frightens them so much

that they quickly run away!

6They cannot stop themselves shaking,

like a woman who is giving birth to a baby!

7You push them away,

like an east wind that destroys great ships.

8We had heard about the great things that God has done.

Now we have seen them for ourselves,

here in the city of the Lord Almighty,

the city of our God.

It is God who keeps the city safe for ever!

9When we are in your temple, God,

we think about your faithful love.

10You are famous all over the world,

so that people praise you as you deserve.

You are powerful

and you rule with justice.

11Because you judge people in a right way,

Mount Zion and all the towns of Judah will be happy.

12Walk all around Zion and look at it.

Count the towers.

13Look at its strong buildings and its strong walls.

Then you will be able to describe it to your children.

14Yes, this is our God, who is with us for ever!

He will always be our guide.
