< 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.
En Sang. En Salme af Koras Sønner.
2 Beautiful in loftiness, the joy of all the earth, like the peaks of Zaphon is Mount Zion, the city of the great King.
Stor og højlovet er vor Gud i sin Stad.
3 God is in her citadels; He has shown Himself to be a fortress.
Smukt løfter sig hans hellige Bjerg, al Jordens Fryd, Zions Bjerg i det højeste Nord, den store Konges By.
4 For behold, the kings assembled; they all advanced together.
Som Værn gjorde Gud sig kendt i dens Borge.
5 They saw and were astounded; they fled in terror.
Thi Kongerne samlede sig, rykked frem tilsammen;
6 Trembling seized them there, anguish like a woman in labor.
de saa og tav paa Stedet, flyed i Angst,
7 With a wind from the east You wrecked the ships of Tarshish.
af Rædsel grebes de brat, af Veer som en, der føder.
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.
Med Østenstormen knuser du Tarsisskibe.
9 Within Your temple, O God, we contemplate Your loving devotion.
Som vi havde hørt det, saa vi det selv i Hærskarers HERRES By, i vor Guds By; til evig Tid lader Gud den staa. (Sela)
10 Your name, O God, like Your praise, reaches to the ends of the earth; Your right hand is full of righteousness.
I din Helligdom tænker vi, Gud, paa din Miskundhed;
11 Mount Zion is glad, the daughters of Judah rejoice, on account of Your judgments.
som dit Navn saa lyder din Pris til Jordens Grænser. Din højre er fuld af Retfærd,
12 March around Zion, encircle her, count her towers,
Zions Bjerg fryder sig, Judas Døtre jubler over dine Domme.
13 consider her ramparts, tour her citadels, that you may tell the next generation.
Drag rundt om Zion, gaa rundt og tæl dets Taarne,
14 For this God is our God forever and ever; He will be our guide even till death.
læg Mærke til dets Ringmur, gaa gennem dets Borge, at I kan melde Slægten, der kommer: Saadan er Gud, vor Gud for evigt og altid, han skal lede os. Al-mut.
