< Psalms 48 >

1 A Song; a Psalm of the sons of Korah. Great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised, In the city of our God, in his holy mountain.
שִׁיר מִזְמוֹר לִבְנֵי־קֹֽרַח׃ גָּדוֹל יְהֹוָה וּמְהֻלָּל מְאֹד בְּעִיר אֱלֹהֵינוּ הַר־קׇדְשֽׁוֹ׃
2 Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, Is mount Zion, [on] the sides of the north, The city of the great King.
יְפֵה נוֹף מְשׂוֹשׂ כׇּל־הָאָרֶץ הַר־צִיּוֹן יַרְכְּתֵי צָפוֹן קִרְיַת מֶלֶךְ רָֽב׃
3 God hath made himself known in her palaces for a refuge.
אֱלֹהִים בְּאַרְמְנוֹתֶיהָ נוֹדַע לְמִשְׂגָּֽב׃
4 For, lo, the kings assembled themselves, They passed by together.
כִּֽי־הִנֵּה הַמְּלָכִים נוֹעֲדוּ עָבְרוּ יַחְדָּֽו׃
5 They saw it, then were they amazed; They were dismayed, they hasted away.
הֵמָּה רָאוּ כֵּן תָּמָהוּ נִבְהֲלוּ נֶחְפָּֽזוּ׃
6 Trembling took hold of them there, Pain, as of a woman in travail.
רְעָדָה אֲחָזָתַם שָׁם חִיל כַּיּוֹלֵדָֽה׃
7 With the east wind Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish.
בְּרוּחַ קָדִים תְּשַׁבֵּר אֳנִיּוֹת תַּרְשִֽׁישׁ׃
8 As we have heard, so have we seen In the city of Jehovah of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. (Selah)
כַּאֲשֶׁר שָׁמַעְנוּ ׀ כֵּן רָאִינוּ בְּעִיר־יְהֹוָה צְבָאוֹת בְּעִיר אֱלֹהֵינוּ אֱלֹהִים יְכוֹנְנֶהָ עַד־עוֹלָם סֶֽלָה׃
9 We have thought on thy lovingkindness, O God, In the midst of thy temple.
דִּמִּינוּ אֱלֹהִים חַסְדֶּךָ בְּקֶרֶב הֵיכָלֶֽךָ׃
10 As is thy name, O God, So is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: Thy right hand is full of righteousness.
כְּשִׁמְךָ אֱלֹהִים כֵּן תְּהִלָּתְךָ עַל־קַצְוֵי־אֶרֶץ צֶדֶק מָלְאָה יְמִינֶֽךָ׃
11 Let mount Zion be glad, Let the daughters of Judah rejoice, Because of thy judgments.
יִשְׂמַח ׀ הַר־צִיּוֹן תָּגֵלְנָה בְּנוֹת יְהוּדָה לְמַעַן מִשְׁפָּטֶֽיךָ׃
12 Walk about Zion, and go round about her; Number the towers thereof;
סֹבּוּ צִיּוֹן וְהַקִּיפוּהָ סִפְרוּ מִגְדָּלֶֽיהָ׃
13 Mark ye well her bulwarks; Consider her palaces: That ye may tell it to the generation following.
שִׁיתוּ לִבְּכֶם ׀ לְֽחֵילָהֿ פַּסְּגוּ אַרְמְנוֹתֶיהָ לְמַעַן תְּסַפְּרוּ לְדוֹר אַֽחֲרֽוֹן׃
14 For this God is our God for ever and ever: He will be our guide [even] unto death.
כִּי זֶה ׀ אֱלֹהִים אֱלֹהֵינוּ עוֹלָם וָעֶד הוּא יְנַהֲגֵנוּ עַל־מֽוּת׃
