Psalms 48:14, word by word

is Elohimאֱלֹהִיםelohim

Elohim

The one true God, the Creator; the word is plural but means one.

Where else “elohim” appears
forever and everעוֹלָםolam

forever

Time without end, beyond what a lifetime can see.

Where else “olam” appears
forever and everעֶדed

forever

Time that does not end, without limit of years.

Where else “ed” appears
will lead usיְנַהֲגֵyenahage

drive, lead

Drive, lead along (livestock, people); carry off.

Where else “yenahage” appears
until deathמוּתmut

Muth-labben

Part of the title of Psalm 9 ("Muth-labben"). Probably the name of a known tune; literally it may be "death of the son". Its sense is not certain.

Where else “mut” appears

Translation note

“Until death”: the last two Hebrew words are difficult. They can be read “until death,” “beyond death,” or as a single word meaning “forever”; they may also be a musical indication (like “Alamot” in Psalm 46).

The context

13set your heart on her rampart; go through her citadels, so that you may recount it to the generation to come.
