48:8 As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of YHWH of hosts, in the city of our Elohim: Elohim will establish it for ever. Selah.

48:10 According to thy name, O Elohim, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.

48:11 Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments.

48:14 For this Elohim is our Elohim for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.
