Psalm Chapter 48

Ps 48

Singing instrumental music by sons of korah:

1 Jehovah is the greatest (gadol gadol) and to be praised very much by the leaders among men (Elohim), in the city of HIS holy mountain;

2 there is abundant joy in mount Zion (in Jerusalem), the capital-city of the King on earth, it is a beautiful landscape/scenery by the side/recess of the North.

3 the Elohim know that the citadel/palace is like a lofty place of refuge (misgab);

4 they fixed appointments together with the king and cross over, 

5 they hasten to see it and marvelled - while others who trembled inwardly - - 

6 - - were caught in fear and pain/travail as in child-birth:

7 because by the SPIRIT, the fore front of the ship from Tarshish (port of merchant ship) was broken.

8 as far as Jehovah of (heavenly) Army has prepared/established the Elohim of the city, even the city of those Elohim who have listened to HIM, will be seen for eternity. Pause:

9 the kindness of these Elohim in the midst of our palace resemble HIS: 

10 and unto HIS NAME, there is laudation from all HIS Elohim, and Justification shall be from HIS RIght HAND, be replenished unto the end of the earth.

11 daughters of Judah will spin around and rejoice upon mount Zion for HIS verdicts. 

12 they will revolve around Zion, and enumerate/reckon the towers that surround her;

13 and hewed/dug up are rampart/bulwark/defensive structure positioned around the citadel/palace, and to be recorded/reckoned in the heart of the coming generations; - 

14 - is the "the Son (born) to die" (muth al ben) who will lead/guide the elohim for ever, even our elohim to eternity. (Ref: Ps 9:1).
