Psalm 48:4-8 (NASB) • 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. 6 Panic seized them there, anguish, as of a woman in childbirth. 7 With the east wind You break the ships of Tarshish. 8 As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God; God will establish her forever. Selah.

  11. Psalm 48:9-14 (NASB) • 9 We have thought on Your lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of Your temple. 10 As is Your name, O God, so is Your praise to the ends of the earth; your right hand is full of righteousness. 11 Let Mount Zion be glad, let the daughters of Judah rejoice because of Your judgments. 12 Walk about Zion and go around her; count her towers; 13 consider her ramparts; go through her palaces, that you may tell it to the next generation. 14 For such is God, our God forever and ever; He will guide us until death.

  12. Shelter for the Soul “The substance of the Songs of Zion may appear superficially to be the praise of Mount Zion in the holy city; at a deeper level, it is the praise of God, whose presence and protection is symbolized by the holy mountain and its sanctuary.” –Word Biblical Commentary
