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.

Pjesma. Psalam. Sinova Korahovih. Velik je Jahve, hvale predostojan u gradu Boga našega.

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.

Sveto brdo njegovo, brijeg veličanstven, radost je zemlji svoj. Gora Sion, na krajnjem sjeveru, grad je Kralja velikog.

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

Bog u kulama njegovim jakom se pokaza utvrdom.

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

Jer gle, složiše se kraljevi, navališe zajedno.

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

Čim vidješe, zapanjiše se i zbunjeni u bijeg nagnuše.

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

Ondje ih trepet obuze kao muka porodilje,

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

kao kad vjetar istočni razbija brodove taršiške.

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)

Što smo čuli, sada vidimo: grad Jahve nad Vojskama, grad Boga našega - Bog ga utvrdi dovijeka.

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

Spominjemo se, Bože, tvoje dobrote usred Hrama tvojega.

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

Kao ime tvoje, Bože, tako i slava tvoja do nakraj zemlje doseže. Puna je pravde desnica tvoja; neka se raduje brdo sionsko!

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

Neka kliču gradovi Judini zbog tvojih sudova!

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

Obiđite Sion i prođite njime, prebrojite kule njegove!

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.

Pogledajte dobro bedeme njegove, promotrite mu potanko dvorove: da biste kazivali budućem koljenu:

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

“Takav je Bog, Bog naš zasvagda i dovijeka! On neka nas vodi!”
