< 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.
Велик је Господ и славан веома у граду Бога нашег, на светој гори својој.
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.
Прекрасна је висина, утеха свој земљи гора Сион, на северној страни њеној град цара великог.
3 In its buildings God is seen to be a high tower.
Бог у дворима његовим зна се да је бранич.
4 For see! the kings came together by agreement, they were joined together.
Јер, гле, цареви се земаљски сабраше, али прођоше сви.
5 They saw it, and so were full of wonder; they were troubled, and went quickly away in fear.
Видеше и зачудише се, препадоше се и побегоше.
6 Shaking came on them and pain, as on a woman in childbirth.
Трепет обузе их онде, мучише се као породиља.
7 By you the ships of Tarshish are broken as by an east wind.
Ветром источним разбио си корабље тарсиске.
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)
Шта слушамо то и видимо у граду Господа над војскама, у граду Бога нашег, Бог га утврди довека.
9 Our thoughts were of your mercy, O God, while we were in your Temple.
Казујемо, Боже, милост Твоју усред цркве Твоје.
10 As your name is, O God, so is your praise to the ends of the earth; your right hand is full of righteousness.
Као што је име Твоје, Боже, тако је и хвала Твоја на крајевима земаљским; правде је пуна десница Твоја.
11 Let there be joy in the mountain of Zion, and let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of your wise decisions.
Нек се весели гора Сион, нек се радују кћери јудејске судова ради Твојих.
12 Make your way about Zion, and go round it, numbering its towers.
Пођите око Сиона и обиђите га, избројте куле његове;
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.
Погледајте бедеме његове, размотрите дворове његове, да приповедате млађим нараштајима.
14 Because this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide.
Јер је овај Бог наш Бог увек и довека, Он ће бити вођ наш довека.
