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 by the sons of Korah. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be 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。

Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion, on the north sides, 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 shown himself in her citadels as a refuge.

4 請看，眾王紛紛相聚，他們蜂擁走向前去，

For, behold, 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. 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 of 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, 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 we have seen, in the city of the LORD of Armies, 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 loving kindness, 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 is your name, 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 judgements.

12 你們環繞熙雍巡遊，你們數點她的城樓，

Walk about Zion, and go around her. Number its 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 her bulwarks. Consider her palaces, 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 even to death.
