< 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; a psalm of the sons of Korah. Great is Yahweh and greatly to be praised, in the city of our God on 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。
Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion, on the sides of the 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 has made himself known in her palaces as a refuge.
4 請看,眾王紛紛相聚,他們蜂擁走向前去,
For, see, the kings assembled themselves; they passed by together.
5 他們一見,驚魂喪膽,張惶失措,抱頭鼠竄。
They saw it, then they were amazed; they were dismayed, and they hurried away.
6 他們在那裡惶懼恐怖,苦痛有如臨盆的孕婦;
Trembling took hold of them there, pain as when a woman is in labor.
7 好像塔爾史士的船隻,為強烈的東風所襲擊。
With the east wind you break the ships of Tarshish.
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 in the city of Yahweh of hosts, in the city of our God; God will establish it forever. (Selah)
9 天主,我們在你的殿裏,沉思默念著你的仁慈。
We have thought about your covenant faithfulness, God, in the middle of your 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 your name is, God, so is your praise to the ends of the earth; your right hand is full of righteousness.
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 be glad, let the daughters of Judah rejoice because of your righteous decrees.
12 你們環繞熙雍巡遊,你們數點她的城樓,
Walk around Mount Zion, go round about her; count 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:
notice well her walls, and look at her palaces so that you may tell it to the next 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 God is our God forever and ever; he will be our guide to death.
