< 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.
Grande es Jehová, y digno de ser en grande manera alabado en la ciudad de nuestro Dios, en el monte de su santuario.
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.
De hermosa situación, el gozo de toda la tierra es el monte de Sión: los lados del aquilón, la ciudad del gran Rey.
3 In its buildings God is seen to be a high tower.
Dios en sus palacios es conocido por refugio.
4 For see! the kings came together by agreement, they were joined together.
Porque, he aquí, los reyes de la tierra fueron congregados; pasaron todos.
5 They saw it, and so were full of wonder; they were troubled, and went quickly away in fear.
Ellos vieron, maravilláronse grandemente, fueron asombrados: diéronse priesa.
6 Shaking came on them and pain, as on a woman in childbirth.
Temblor los tomó allí; dolor, como a mujer que pare.
7 By you the ships of Tarshish are broken as by an east wind.
Con viento solano quiebras las naves de Társis.
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)
Como lo oímos, así lo vimos en la ciudad de Jehová de los ejércitos, en la ciudad de nuestro Dios: Dios la afirmará para siempre. (Selah)
9 Our thoughts were of your mercy, O God, while we were in your Temple.
Esperamos, o! Dios, tu misericordia en medio de tu templo.
10 As your name is, O God, so is your praise to the ends of the earth; your right hand is full of righteousness.
Conforme a tu nombre, o! Dios, así es tu loor hasta los fines de la tierra: de justicia está llena tu diestra.
11 Let there be joy in the mountain of Zion, and let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of your wise decisions.
Alegrarse ha el monte de Sión: regocijarse han las hijas de Judá por tus juicios.
12 Make your way about Zion, and go round it, numbering its towers.
Rodeád a Sión, y cercádla: contád sus torres.
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.
Ponéd vuestro corazón a su antemuro: mirád sus palacios, para que lo contéis a la generación que vendrá.
14 Because this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide.
Porque este Dios es Dios nuestro eternalmente y para siempre: él nos capitaneará hasta la muerte.
