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.
Mazmur kaum Korah. Sungguh agunglah TUHAN dan sangat terpuji di kota Allah kita, di bukit yang suci.
2 Beautiful in loftiness, the joy of all the earth, like the peaks of Zaphon is Mount Zion, the city of the great King.
Sion, bukit Allah menjulang permai kota Raja Agung menggirangkan seluruh bumi.
3 God is in her citadels; He has shown Himself to be a fortress.
Allah tinggal di dalam puri-purinya, ternyata Ia sendirilah pelindung-Nya.
4 For behold, the kings assembled; they all advanced together.
Lihatlah, raja-raja berkumpul; mereka datang hendak menyerbu.
5 They saw and were astounded; they fled in terror.
Tapi melihat bukit itu, mereka tercengang; mereka gempar dan lari kebingungan.
6 Trembling seized them there, anguish like a woman in labor.
Di sana mereka gemetar ketakutan dan kesakitan, seperti wanita yang mau melahirkan,
7 With a wind from the east You wrecked the ships of Tarshish.
seperti kapal yang hancur dalam topan.
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.
Seperti yang kita dengar, kini kita melihatnya, di Kota TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa. Kota itu adalah Kota Allah kita, Ia membelanya untuk selama-lamanya.
9 Within Your temple, O God, we contemplate Your loving devotion.
Di dalam Rumah-Mu kami merenungkan kasih-Mu, ya Allah.
10 Your name, O God, like Your praise, reaches to the ends of the earth; Your right hand is full of righteousness.
Nama-Mu termasyhur dan dipuji di seluruh bumi, Engkau memerintah dengan adil.
11 Mount Zion is glad, the daughters of Judah rejoice, on account of Your judgments.
Biarlah rakyat Sion dan Yehuda bersorak gembira, karena Engkau menghukum lawan mereka.
12 March around Zion, encircle her, count her towers,
Kelilingilah Sion, putarilah dia, dan hitunglah menaranya.
13 consider her ramparts, tour her citadels, that you may tell the next generation.
Perhatikan temboknya, periksalah bentengnya, supaya kamu dapat menceritakan kepada keturunanmu;
14 For this God is our God forever and ever; He will be our guide even till death.
"Dialah Allah, Allah kita untuk selama-lamanya, Dia akan memimpin kita sampai kekal."
