Psalms 48

1 A Song. A Psalm. Of the sons of Korah. Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised, in the town of our God, in his holy mountain.

可拉後裔的詩歌。 耶和華本為大！ 在我們上帝的城中， 在他的聖山上，該受大讚美。

2 Beautiful in its high position, the joy of all the earth, is the mountain of Zion, the mountain of God, the town of the great King.

錫安山－大君王的城， 在北面居高華美， 為全地所喜悅。

3 In its buildings God is seen to be a high tower.

上帝在其宮中， 自顯為避難所。

4 For see! the kings came together by agreement, they were joined together.

看哪，眾王會合， 一同經過。

5 They saw it, and so were full of wonder; they were troubled, and went quickly away in fear.

他們見了這城就驚奇喪膽， 急忙逃跑。

6 Shaking came on them and pain, as on a woman in childbirth.

他們在那裏被戰兢疼痛抓住， 好像產難的婦人一樣。

7 By you the ships of Tarshish are broken as by an east wind.

上帝啊，你用東風打破他施的船隻。

8 As it came to our ears so have we seen it, in the town of the Lord of armies, in the town of our God; God will keep it fixed for ever. (Selah)

我們在萬軍之耶和華的城中 －就是我們上帝的城中－所看見的， 正如我們所聽見的。 上帝必堅立這城，直到永遠。 (細拉)

9 Our thoughts were of your mercy, O God, while we were in your Temple.

上帝啊，我們在你的殿中想念你的慈愛。

10 As your name is, O God, so is your praise to the ends of the earth; your right hand is full of righteousness.

上帝啊，你受的讚美正與你的名相稱，直到地極！ 你的右手滿了公義。

11 Let there be joy in the mountain of Zion, and let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of your wise decisions.

因你的判斷，錫安山應當歡喜， 猶大的城邑應當快樂。

12 Make your way about Zion, and go round it, numbering its towers.

你們當周遊錫安， 四圍旋繞，數點城樓，

13 Take note of its strong walls, looking well at its fair buildings; so that you may give word of it to the generation which comes after.

細看她的外郭， 察看她的宮殿， 為要傳說到後代。

14 Because this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide.

因為這上帝永永遠遠為我們的上帝； 他必作我們引路的，直到死時。
