Psa 48:3 God is well knowen in her palaces: as a most sure refuge. Psa 48:4 (48:4a) For lo kinges did assemble, and passe by together: Psa 48:5 (48:4b) they them selues sawe it, lykewyse they marueyled, they were astonyed with feare, and sodenly in haste they were gone away. Psa 48:6 (48:5) A feare came there vpon them and sorowe: as vpon a woman in her childe trauayle. Psa 48:7 (48:6) Thou didst breake the shippes of the sea: through the east wynde.

Psa 48:10 (48:9) O Lorde, accordyng to thy name, so is thy prayse vnto the worldes ende: thy ryght hande is full of iustice. Psa 48:11 (48:10) Mount Sion shall reioyce, and the daughters of Iuda shalbe glad: because of thy iudgementes. Psa 48:12 (48:11) Compasse about Sion, and go rounde about her: and tell the towres therof. Psa 48:13 (48:12) Marke well her bulwarkes, beholde her hygh palaces: that ye may tell it to your posteritie. Psa 48:14 (48:13) For this God is our God for euer and euer: he wyll be our guide vnto death.
