Psalmi 48
1 Pjesma. Psalam. Sinova Korahovih. Velik je Jahve, hvale predostojan u gradu Boga našega.
“A psalm of the sons of Korah.” Great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised In the city of our God, upon his holy mountain.
2 Sveto brdo njegovo, brijeg veličanstven, radost je zemlji svoj. Gora Sion, na krajnjem sjeveru, grad je Kralja velikog.
Beautiful in its elevation is Mount Zion, The joy of the whole earth; The joy of the farthest North is the city of the great king;
3 Bog u kulama njegovim jakom se pokaza utvrdom.
In her palaces God is known as a refuge.
4 Jer gle, složiše se kraljevi, navališe zajedno.
For, lo! kings were assembled against it; They passed away together.
5 Čim vidješe, zapanjiše se i zbunjeni u bijeg nagnuše.
As soon as they saw, they were astonished; They were confounded, and hasted away.
6 Ondje ih trepet obuze kao muka porodilje,
There terror seized upon them, —Pain, as of a woman in travail;
7 kao kad vjetar istočni razbija brodove taršiške.
As when the east wind breaketh in pieces 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 have we seen In the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God; God will establish it for ever. (Pause)
9 Spominjemo se, Bože, tvoje dobrote usred Hrama tvojega.
We think of thy loving-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, O God! so thy praise, extendeth to the ends of the earth; Thy right hand is full of righteousness.
11 Neka kliču gradovi Judini zbog tvojih sudova!
Mount Zion rejoiceth, The daughters of Judah exult, On account of thy righteous judgments.
12 Obiđite Sion i prođite njime, prebrojite kule njegove!
Go round about Zion; number her towers;
13 Pogledajte dobro bedeme njegove, promotrite mu potanko dvorove: da biste kazivali budućem koljenu:
Mark well her bulwarks; count her palaces; That ye may tell it to the next generation!
14 “Takav je Bog, Bog naš zasvagda i dovijeka! On neka nas vodi!”
For this God is our God for ever and ever; He will be our guide unto death.
