Psalmi 48
1 Pjesma. Psalam. Sinova Korahovih. Velik je Jahve, hvale predostojan u gradu Boga našega.
“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 Sveto brdo njegovo, brijeg veličanstven, radost je zemlji svoj. Gora Sion, na krajnjem sjeveru, grad je Kralja velikog.
A beautiful district, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, the farthest north, the city of the great King.
3 Bog u kulama njegovim jakom se pokaza utvrdom.
God is become known in her palaces as a defence.
4 Jer gle, složiše se kraljevi, navališe zajedno.
For, lo, the kings were assembled, they are passed away together.
5 Čim vidješe, zapanjiše se i zbunjeni u bijeg nagnuše.
They indeed saw—[and] so they were astonished; they were terrified, they were confounded.
6 Ondje ih trepet obuze kao muka porodilje,
Trembling seized on them there, pain, as on a woman in travail.
7 kao kad vjetar istočni razbija brodove taršiške.
With the east wind thou breakest the ships of Tharshish.
8 Što smo čuli, sada vidimo: grad Jahve nad Vojskama, grad Boga našega - Bog ga utvrdi dovijeka.
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 Spominjemo se, Bože, tvoje dobrote usred Hrama tvojega.
We have reflected on thy kindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple.
10 Kao ime tvoje, Bože, tako i slava tvoja do nakraj zemlje doseže. Puna je pravde desnica tvoja; neka se raduje brdo sionsko!
As thy name is, O God, so is thy praise over the ends of the earth: of righteousness is thy right hand full.
11 Neka kliču gradovi Judini zbog tvojih sudova!
Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments.
12 Obiđite Sion i prođite njime, prebrojite kule njegove!
Compass Zion about, and walk round about her; number her towers.
13 Pogledajte dobro bedeme njegove, promotrite mu potanko dvorove: da biste kazivali budućem koljenu:
Direct your mind to her outer wall, mark carefully her palaces: in order that ye may tell it to the latest generation.
14 “Takav je Bog, Bog naš zasvagda i dovijeka! On neka nas vodi!”
For this One is God, our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.
