Psalms 48

1 A song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, His holy mountain.

科辣黑後裔的詩歌。 在我們天主的城池中，上主至大，應受到讚頌。

2 Beautiful in loftiness, the joy of all the earth, like the peaks of Zaphon is Mount Zion, the city of the great King.

祂的聖山巍峨高聳，是普世的歡喜，北方中心熙雍聖山，是大王的城邑。

3 God is in her citadels; He has shown Himself to be a fortress.

天主居於堡壘的中央，顯自己為穩固的保障。

4 For behold, the kings assembled; they all advanced together.

請看，眾王紛紛相聚，他們蜂擁走向前去，

5 They saw and were astounded; they fled in terror.

他們一見，驚魂喪膽，張惶失措，抱頭鼠竄。

6 Trembling seized them there, anguish like a woman in labor.

他們在那裡惶懼恐怖，苦痛有如臨盆的孕婦；

7 With a wind from the east You wrecked the ships of Tarshish.

好像塔爾史士的船隻，為強烈的東風所襲擊。

8 As we have heard, so we have seen in the city of the LORD of Hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish her forever.

在萬軍上主的城裏，即我們天主的城堡，我們所見正如所聞：天主必使城堡永固。

9 Within Your temple, O God, we contemplate Your loving devotion.

天主，我們在你的殿裏，沉思默念著你的仁慈。

10 Your name, O God, like Your praise, reaches to the ends of the earth; Your right hand is full of righteousness.

天主，你的名號遠達地極，你受的讚美亦應該如此。你的右手全充滿了正義，

11 Mount Zion is glad, the daughters of Judah rejoice, on account of Your judgments.

願熙雍山因你的公正而喜樂；猶大女子也要因此歡欣踴躍。

12 March around Zion, encircle her, count her towers,

你們環繞熙雍巡遊，你們數點她的城樓，

13 consider her ramparts, tour her citadels, that you may tell the next generation.

觀察她的城廓，巡視她的碉堡，是為叫你們向後代子孫陳述：

14 For this God is our God forever and ever; He will be our guide even till death.

天主的確是偉大的天主，也永遠是我們的天主，始終領導我們的天主。
