詩篇 48

1 科辣黑後裔的詩歌。 在我們天主的城池中，上主至大，應受到讚頌。

“A song and psalm by the sons of Korach.” Great is the Lord, and highly praised in the city of our God, [in] his holy mountain.

2 祂的聖山巍峨高聳，是普世的歡喜，北方中心熙雍聖山，是大王的城邑。

A beautiful district, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, the farthest north, the city of the great King.

3 天主居於堡壘的中央，顯自己為穩固的保障。

God is become known in her palaces as a defence.

4 請看，眾王紛紛相聚，他們蜂擁走向前去，

For, lo, the kings were assembled, they are passed away together.

5 他們一見，驚魂喪膽，張惶失措，抱頭鼠竄。

They indeed saw—[and] so they were astonished; they were terrified, they were confounded.

6 他們在那裡惶懼恐怖，苦痛有如臨盆的孕婦；

Trembling seized on them there, pain, as on a woman in travail.

7 好像塔爾史士的船隻，為強烈的東風所襲擊。

With the east wind thou breakest the ships of Tharshish.

8 在萬軍上主的城裏，即我們天主的城堡，我們所見正如所聞：天主必使城堡永固。

As we have heard, so have we seen [it] in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. (Selah)

9 天主，我們在你的殿裏，沉思默念著你的仁慈。

We have reflected on thy kindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple.

10 天主，你的名號遠達地極，你受的讚美亦應該如此。你的右手全充滿了正義，

As thy name is, O God, so is thy praise over the ends of the earth: of righteousness is thy right hand full.

11 願熙雍山因你的公正而喜樂；猶大女子也要因此歡欣踴躍。

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

12 你們環繞熙雍巡遊，你們數點她的城樓，

Compass Zion about, and walk round about her; number her towers.

13 觀察她的城廓，巡視她的碉堡，是為叫你們向後代子孫陳述：

Direct your mind to her outer wall, mark carefully her palaces: in order that ye may tell it to the latest generation.

14 天主的確是偉大的天主，也永遠是我們的天主，始終領導我們的天主。

For this One is God, our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.
