Psalms 48
1 A Song; a Psalm. Of the sons of Korah. Great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the hill of his holiness.
En Sang, en Psalme af Koras Børn.
2 Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, [on] the sides of the north, the city of the great King.
Herren er stor og saare priselig, i vor Guds Stad, paa hans hellige Bjerg.
3 God is known in her palaces as a high fortress.
Zions Bjerg hæver sig smukt, er det ganske Lands Glæde, yderst imod Nord, den store Konges Stad.
4 For behold, the kings assembled themselves, they passed by together;
Gud i dens Paladser er kendt som en fast Borg.
5 They saw, — so they marvelled; they were troubled, they fled in consternation:
Thi se, Kongerne havde samlet sig; de forsvandt til Hobe.
6 Trembling took hold upon them there; anguish, as of a woman in travail.
De saa, straks forundrede de sig; de forfærdedes, de hastede bort.
7 With an east wind thou hast broken the ships of Tarshish.
Bævelse betog dem der, Angest som en Kvindes, der føder.
8 As we have heard, so have we seen, in the city of Jehovah of hosts, in the city of our God: God doth establish it for ever. (Selah)
Ved Østenvejr sønderbryder du Tharsis's Skibe.
9 We have thought, O God, of thy loving-kindness, in the midst of thy temple.
Ligesom vi havde hørt, saaledes saa vi det i den Herre Zebaoths Stad, i vor Guds Stad; Gud befæster den indtil evig Tid. (Sela)
10 According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.
O Gud! vi tænke paa din Miskundhed midt i dit Tempel.
11 Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments.
O Gud! som dit Navn er, saa er din Pris indtil Jordens Ender; din højre Haand er fuld af Retfærdighed.
12 Walk about Zion, and go round about her: count the towers thereof;
Zions Bjerg glæder sig, Judas Døtre fryde sig for dine Dommes Skyld.
13 Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces: that ye may tell it to the generation following.
Gaar omkring Zion, rundt omkring den, tæller dens Taarne!
14 For this God is our God for ever and ever; he will be our guide until death.
Lægger Mærke til dens Mur, betragter nøje dens Paladser, at I kunne fortælle det for den Slægt, som kommer. Thi her er Gud, vor Gud, evindelig og altid, han skal ledsage os til evige Tider.
