Salme 48
1 En Sang, en Psalme af Koras Børn.
A Canticle Psalm. To the sons of Korah, on the second Sabbath. The Lord is great and exceedingly praiseworthy, in the city of our God, on his holy mountain.
2 Herren er stor og saare priselig, i vor Guds Stad, paa hans hellige Bjerg.
Mount Zion is being founded with the exultation of the whole earth, on the north side, the city of the great king.
3 Zions Bjerg hæver sig smukt, er det ganske Lands Glæde, yderst imod Nord, den store Konges Stad.
In her houses, God will be known, since he will support her.
4 Gud i dens Paladser er kendt som en fast Borg.
For behold, the kings of the earth have been gathered together; they have convened as one.
5 Thi se, Kongerne havde samlet sig; de forsvandt til Hobe.
Such did they see, and they were astonished: they were disturbed, they were moved.
6 De saa, straks forundrede de sig; de forfærdedes, de hastede bort.
Trembling took hold of them. In that place, their pains were that of a woman in labor.
7 Bævelse betog dem der, Angest som en Kvindes, der føder.
With a vehement spirit, you will crush the ships of Tarshish.
8 Ved Østenvejr sønderbryder du Tharsis's Skibe.
As we have heard, so we have seen, in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God. God has founded it in eternity.
9 Ligesom vi havde hørt, saaledes saa vi det i den Herre Zebaoths Stad, i vor Guds Stad; Gud befæster den indtil evig Tid. (Sela)
We have received your mercy, O God, in the midst of your temple.
10 O Gud! vi tænke paa din Miskundhed midt i dit Tempel.
According to your name, O God, so does your praise reach to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is full of justice.
11 O Gud! som dit Navn er, saa er din Pris indtil Jordens Ender; din højre Haand er fuld af Retfærdighed.
Let mount Zion rejoice, and let the daughters of Judah exult, because of your judgments, O Lord.
12 Zions Bjerg glæder sig, Judas Døtre fryde sig for dine Dommes Skyld.
Encircle Zion and embrace her. Discourse in her towers.
13 Gaar omkring Zion, rundt omkring den, tæller dens Taarne!
Set your hearts on her virtue. And distribute her houses, so that you may discourse of it in another generation.
14 Lægger Mærke til dens Mur, betragter nøje dens Paladser, at I kunne fortælle det for den Slægt, som kommer. Thi her er Gud, vor Gud, evindelig og altid, han skal ledsage os til evige Tider.
For this is God, our God, in eternity and forever and ever. He will rule us forever.
