詩篇 48

1 可拉後裔的詩歌。 耶和華本為大！ 在我們上帝的城中， 在他的聖山上，該受大讚美。

A song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, His holy mountain.

2 錫安山－大君王的城， 在北面居高華美， 為全地所喜悅。

Beautiful in loftiness, the joy of all the earth, like the peaks of Zaphon is Mount Zion, the city of the great King.

3 上帝在其宮中， 自顯為避難所。

God is in her citadels; He has shown Himself to be a fortress.

4 看哪，眾王會合， 一同經過。

For behold, the kings assembled; they all advanced together.

5 他們見了這城就驚奇喪膽， 急忙逃跑。

They saw and were astounded; they fled in terror.

6 他們在那裏被戰兢疼痛抓住， 好像產難的婦人一樣。

Trembling seized them there, anguish like a woman in labor.

7 上帝啊，你用東風打破他施的船隻。

With a wind from the east You wrecked the ships of Tarshish.

8 我們在萬軍之耶和華的城中 －就是我們上帝的城中－所看見的， 正如我們所聽見的。 上帝必堅立這城，直到永遠。 (細拉)

As we have heard, so we have seen in the city of the LORD of Hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish her forever.

9 上帝啊，我們在你的殿中想念你的慈愛。

Within Your temple, O God, we contemplate Your loving devotion.

10 上帝啊，你受的讚美正與你的名相稱，直到地極！ 你的右手滿了公義。

Your name, O God, like Your praise, reaches to the ends of the earth; Your right hand is full of righteousness.

11 因你的判斷，錫安山應當歡喜， 猶大的城邑應當快樂。

Mount Zion is glad, the daughters of Judah rejoice, on account of Your judgments.

12 你們當周遊錫安， 四圍旋繞，數點城樓，

March around Zion, encircle her, count her towers,

13 細看她的外郭， 察看她的宮殿， 為要傳說到後代。

consider her ramparts, tour her citadels, that you may tell the next generation.

14 因為這上帝永永遠遠為我們的上帝； 他必作我們引路的，直到死時。

For this God is our God forever and ever; He will be our guide even till death.
