Psalm 48

¹Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness.
²Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.
³God is known in her palaces for a refuge.
⁴For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together.
⁵They saw it, and so they marvelled; they were troubled, and hasted away.
⁶Fear took hold upon them there, and pain, as of a woman in travail.
⁷Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.
⁸As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. Selah.
⁹We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple.
¹⁰According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.
¹¹Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments.
¹²Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers thereof.
¹³Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following.
¹⁴For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.

¹⁸For wickedness burneth as the fire: it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they shall mount up like the lifting up of smoke.
¹⁹Through the wrath of the Lord of hosts is the land darkened, and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire: no man shall spare his brother.
²⁰And he shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied: they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm:
²¹Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh: and they together shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

10Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed;
²To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless!
³And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?
⁴Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

⁷But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea,
⁸And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and from beyond Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they had heard what great things he did, came unto him.
⁹And he spake to his disciples, that a small ship should wait on him because of the multitude, lest they should throng him.
¹⁰For he had healed many; insomuch that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had plagues.
¹¹And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God.
¹²And he straitly charged them that they should not make him known.
¹³And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he would: and they came unto him.
¹⁴And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,
¹⁵And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils:
¹⁶And Simon he surnamed Peter;
¹⁷And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder:
¹⁸And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Canaanite,
¹⁹And Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed him: and they went into an house.
