Psalms 48
1 A Psalm of praise for the sons of Core on the second [day] of the week. Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.
| تَسْبِيحَةٌ. مَزْمُورٌ لِبَنِي قُورَحَ عَظِيمٌ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ وَحَمِيدٌ جِدًّا فِي مَدِينَةِ إِلَهِنَا، جَبَلِ قُدْسِهِ. | ١ |
2 The city of the great King is well planted [on] the mountains of Sion, with the joy of the whole earth, [on] the sides of the north.
| جَمِيلُ ٱلِٱرْتِفَاعِ، فَرَحُ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ، جَبَلُ صِهْيَوْنَ. فَرَحُ أَقَاصِي ٱلشِّمَالِ، مَدِينَةُ ٱلْمَلِكِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ. | ٢ |
3 God is known in her palaces, when he undertakes to help her.
| ٱللهُ فِي قُصُورِهَا يُعْرَفُ مَلْجَأً. | ٣ |
4 For, behold the kings of the earth were assembled, they came together.
| لِأَنَّهُ هُوَذَا ٱلْمُلُوكُ ٱجْتَمَعُوا. مَضَوْا جَمِيعًا. | ٤ |
5 They saw, and so they wondered: they were troubled, they were moved.
| لَمَّا رَأَوْا بُهِتُوا، ٱرْتَاعُوا، فَرُّوا. | ٥ |
6 Trembling took hold on them: there were the pangs as of a woman in travail.
| أَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلرِّعْدَةُ هُنَاكَ، وَٱلْمَخَاضُ كَوَالِدَةٍ. | ٦ |
7 Thou wilt break the ships of Tharsis with a vehement wind.
| بِرِيحٍ شَرْقِيَّةٍ تَكْسِرُ سُفُنَ تَرْشِيشَ. | ٧ |
8 As we have heard, so have we also seen, in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God: God has founded it for ever. (Pause)
| كَمَا سَمِعْنَا هَكَذَا رَأَيْنَا فِي مَدِينَةِ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ، فِي مَدِينَةِ إِلَهِنَا. ٱللهُ يُثَبِّتُهَا إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. سِلَاهْ. | ٨ |
9 We have thought of thy mercy, O God, in the midst of thy people.
| ذَكَرْنَا يَا ٱللهُ رَحْمَتَكَ فِي وَسَطِ هَيْكَلِكَ. | ٩ |
10 According to thy name, O God, so is also thy praise to the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.
| نَظِيرُ ٱسْمِكَ يَا ٱللهُ تَسْبِيحُكَ إِلَى أَقَاصِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. يَمِينُكَ مَلآنَةٌ بِرًّا. | ١٠ |
11 Let mount Sion rejoice, let the daughters of Judaea exult, because of thy judgments, O Lord.
| يَفْرَحُ جَبَلُ صِهْيَوْنَ، تَبْتَهِجُ بَنَاتُ يَهُوذَا مِنْ أَجْلِ أَحْكَامِكَ. | ١١ |
12 Go round about Sion, and encompass her: tell ye her towers.
| طُوفُوا بِصِهْيَوْنَ، وَدُورُوا حَوْلَهَا. عُدُّوا أَبْرَاجَهَا. | ١٢ |
13 Mark ye well her strength, and observe her palaces; that ye may tell the next generation.
| ضَعُوا قُلُوبَكُمْ عَلَى مَتَارِسِهَا. تَأَمَّلُوا قُصُورَهَا لِكَيْ تُحَدِّثُوا بِهَا جِيلًا آخَرَ. | ١٣ |
14 For this is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide for evermore.
| لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ هَذَا هُوَ إِلَهُنَا إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ وَٱلْأَبَدِ. هُوَ يَهْدِينَا حَتَّى إِلَى ٱلْمَوْتِ. | ١٤ |
