Psalm 48:1-3
EasyEnglish Bible

This is a psalm that the sons of Korah wrote.

Zion is God's city

48 The Lord is great.
He deserves that people praise him
    in the city of our God,
    on his holy mountain.
2 That 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.[a]
3 God is there in its strong places
    and he keeps the city safe.

Footnotes

  1. 48:2 The holy mountain is Mount Zion, where they built the temple. It was the home of Israel's true God, as other nations thought about Zaphon mountain. That was where other nations thought that their gods came down to the earth. The writer is saying that Jerusalem is the real Zaphon, where the Lord lives.
