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.
Pjesma. Psalam. Sinova Korahovih. Velik je Jahve, hvale predostojan u gradu Boga našega.
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.
Sveto brdo njegovo, brijeg veličanstven, radost je zemlji svoj. Gora Sion, na krajnjem sjeveru, grad je Kralja velikog.
3 God is known in her palaces, when he undertakes to help her.
Bog u kulama njegovim jakom se pokaza utvrdom.
4 For, behold the kings of the earth were assembled, they came together.
Jer gle, složiše se kraljevi, navališe zajedno.
5 They saw, and so they wondered: they were troubled, they were moved.
Čim vidješe, zapanjiše se i zbunjeni u bijeg nagnuše.
6 Trembling took hold on them: there were the pangs as of a woman in travail.
Ondje ih trepet obuze kao muka porodilje,
7 Thou wilt break the ships of Tharsis with a vehement wind.
kao kad vjetar istočni razbija brodove taršiške.
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)
Što smo čuli, sada vidimo: grad Jahve nad Vojskama, grad Boga našega - Bog ga utvrdi dovijeka.
9 We have thought of thy mercy, O God, in the midst of thy people.
Spominjemo se, Bože, tvoje dobrote usred Hrama tvojega.
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.
Kao ime tvoje, Bože, tako i slava tvoja do nakraj zemlje doseže. Puna je pravde desnica tvoja; neka se raduje brdo sionsko!
11 Let mount Sion rejoice, let the daughters of Judaea exult, because of thy judgments, O Lord.
Neka kliču gradovi Judini zbog tvojih sudova!
12 Go round about Sion, and encompass her: tell ye her towers.
Obiđite Sion i prođite njime, prebrojite kule njegove!
13 Mark ye well her strength, and observe her palaces; that ye may tell the next generation.
Pogledajte dobro bedeme njegove, promotrite mu potanko dvorove: da biste kazivali budućem koljenu:
14 For this is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide for evermore.
“Takav je Bog, Bog naš zasvagda i dovijeka! On neka nas vodi!”
