Salme 48
1 (En sang. En salme af Koras sønner.) Stor og højlovet er vor Gud i sin Stad.
A SONG. A PSALM OF THE SONS OF KORAH. Great [is] YHWH, and greatly praised, In the city of our God—His holy hill.
2 Smukt løfter sig hans hellige Bjerg, al Jordens Fryd, Zions Bjerg i det højeste Nord, den store Konges By.
Beautiful [for] elevation, A joy of all the land, [is] Mount Zion, The sides of the north, the city of [the] great King.
3 Som Værn gjorde Gud sig kendt i dens Borge.
God is known for a tower in her high places.
4 Thi Kongerne samlede sig, rykked frem tilsammen;
For behold, the kings met, they passed by together,
5 de så og tav på Stedet, flyed i Angst,
They have seen—so they have marveled, They have been troubled, they were hurried away.
6 af Rædsel grebes de brat, af Veer som en, der føder.
Trembling has seized them there, Pain, as of a travailing woman.
7 Med Østenstormen knuser du Tarsisskibe.
By an east wind You shatter ships of Tarshish.
8 Som vi havde hørt det, så vi det selv i Hærskarers HERREs By, i vor Guds By; til evig Tid lader Gud den stå. (Sela)
As we have heard, so we have seen, In the city of YHWH of hosts, In the city of our God, God establishes her for all time. (Selah)
9 I din Helligdom tænker vi, Gud, på din Miskundhed;
We have thought, O God, of Your kindness, In the midst of Your temple,
10 som dit Navn så lyder din Pris til Jordens Grænser. Din højre er fuld af Retfærd,
As [is] Your Name, O God, so [is] Your praise, Over the ends of the earth, Righteousness has filled Your right hand.
11 Zions Bjerg fryder sig, Judas Døtre jubler over dine Domme.
Mount Zion rejoices, The daughters of Judah are joyful, For the sake of Your judgments.
12 Drag rundt om Zion, gå rundt og tæl dets Tårne,
Surround Zion, and go around her, count her towers,
13 læg Mærke til dets Ringmur, så gennem dets Borge, at I kan melde Slægten, der
Set your heart to her bulwark, Consider her high places, So that you recount to a later generation,
14 kommer: Sådan er Gud, vor Gud for evigt og altid, han skal lede os.
That this God [is] our God—For all time and forever, He leads us over death!
