Psalm 48:3–5

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.

3 Within her citadels God

has made himself known as a fortress.

4 For behold, the kings assembled;

they came on together.

5 As soon as they saw it, they were astounded;

they were in panic; they took to flight.

3 God is known in her palaces for a refuge.

4 For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together.

5 They saw it, and so they marvelled;

They were troubled, and hasted away.

3 God himself is in Jerusalem’s towers,

revealing himself as its defender.

4 The kings of the earth joined forces

and advanced against the city.

5 But when they saw it, they were stunned;

they were terrified and ran away.

3 God is in her palaces;

He is known as her refuge.

4 For behold, the kings assembled,

They passed by together.

5 They saw it, and so they marveled;

They were troubled, they hastened away.

3 God is within its palaces;

he is known as its defender.

4 Kings joined together

and came to attack the city.

5 But when they saw it, they were amazed.

They ran away in fear.

3 God hath made himself known in her palaces for a refuge.

4 For, lo, the kings assembled themselves,

They passed by together.

5 They saw it, then were they amazed;

They were dismayed, they hasted away.

3 God is known in her palaces as a high fortress. 4 For behold, the kings assembled themselves, they passed by together; 5 They saw, —so they marvelled; they were troubled, they fled in consternation:

3 God is in its palaces. 

He has proved that he is a stronghold. 

4 The kings have gathered. 

They marched together. 

5 ⸤When⸥ they saw ⸤Mount Zion⸥, 

they were astonished. 

They were terrified and ran away in fear. 

3 God is known as a stronghold

in its citadels.

4 Look! The kings assembled;

they advanced together.

5 They looked and froze with fear;

they fled in terror.

3 Within its citadels God

has shown himself a sure defense.

4 Then the kings assembled;

they came on together.

5 As soon as they saw it, they were astounded;

they were in panic; they took to flight;

3 God is in her citadels;

he is known as a high stronghold.

4 For see, the kings assembled;

they advanced together.

5 They themselves saw it, so they were astonished.

They were terrified; they ran off.

3 God, in her palaces,

Has made Himself known as a stronghold.

4 For, lo, the kings assembled themselves,

They passed by together.

5 They saw it, then they were amazed;

They were terrified, they fled in alarm.
