< Psalmi 48 >
1 Pjesma. Psalam. Sinova Korahovih. Velik je Jahve, hvale predostojan u gradu Boga našega.
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 Sveto brdo njegovo, brijeg veličanstven, radost je zemlji svoj. Gora Sion, na krajnjem sjeveru, grad je Kralja velikog.
Beautiful in loftiness, the joy of all the earth, like the peaks of Zaphon is Mount Zion, the city of the great King.
3 Bog u kulama njegovim jakom se pokaza utvrdom.
God is in her citadels; He has shown Himself to be a fortress.
4 Jer gle, složiše se kraljevi, navališe zajedno.
For behold, the kings assembled; they all advanced together.
5 Čim vidješe, zapanjiše se i zbunjeni u bijeg nagnuše.
They saw and were astounded; they fled in terror.
6 Ondje ih trepet obuze kao muka porodilje,
Trembling seized them there, anguish like a woman in labor.
7 kao kad vjetar istočni razbija brodove taršiške.
With a wind from the east You wrecked the ships of Tarshish.
8 Što smo čuli, sada vidimo: grad Jahve nad Vojskama, grad Boga našega - Bog ga utvrdi dovijeka.
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 Spominjemo se, Bože, tvoje dobrote usred Hrama tvojega.
Within Your temple, O God, we contemplate Your loving devotion.
10 Kao ime tvoje, Bože, tako i slava tvoja do nakraj zemlje doseže. Puna je pravde desnica tvoja; neka se raduje brdo sionsko!
Your name, O God, like Your praise, reaches to the ends of the earth; Your right hand is full of righteousness.
11 Neka kliču gradovi Judini zbog tvojih sudova!
Mount Zion is glad, the daughters of Judah rejoice, on account of Your judgments.
12 Obiđite Sion i prođite njime, prebrojite kule njegove!
March around Zion, encircle her, count her towers,
13 Pogledajte dobro bedeme njegove, promotrite mu potanko dvorove: da biste kazivali budućem koljenu:
consider her ramparts, tour her citadels, that you may tell the next generation.
14 “Takav je Bog, Bog naš zasvagda i dovijeka! On neka nas vodi!”
For this God is our God forever and ever; He will be our guide even till death.
