Psalm 48:1-3

New International Reader's Version

48 The Lord is great. He is really worthy of praise.
    Praise him in the city of our God, his holy mountain.
² Mount Zion is high and beautiful.
    It brings joy to everyone on earth.
Mount Zion is like the highest parts of Mount Zaphon.
    It is the city of the Great King.
³ God is there to keep it safe.
    He has shown himself to be like a fort to the city.
