< 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.
שִׁיר מִזְמוֹר לִבְנֵי־קֹֽרַח׃ גָּדוֹל יְהֹוָה וּמְהֻלָּל מְאֹד בְּעִיר אֱלֹהֵינוּ הַר־קׇדְשֽׁוֹ׃
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.
יְפֵה נוֹף מְשׂוֹשׂ כׇּל־הָאָרֶץ הַר־צִיּוֹן יַרְכְּתֵי צָפוֹן קִרְיַת מֶלֶךְ רָֽב׃
3 God is known in her palaces as a high fortress.
אֱלֹהִים בְּאַרְמְנוֹתֶיהָ נוֹדַע לְמִשְׂגָּֽב׃
4 For behold, the kings assembled themselves, they passed by together;
כִּֽי־הִנֵּה הַמְּלָכִים נוֹעֲדוּ עָבְרוּ יַחְדָּֽו׃
5 They saw, — so they marvelled; they were troubled, they fled in consternation:
הֵמָּה רָאוּ כֵּן תָּמָהוּ נִבְהֲלוּ נֶחְפָּֽזוּ׃
6 Trembling took hold upon them there; anguish, as of a woman in travail.
רְעָדָה אֲחָזָתַם שָׁם חִיל כַּיּוֹלֵדָֽה׃
7 With an east wind thou hast broken the ships of Tarshish.
בְּרוּחַ קָדִים תְּשַׁבֵּר אֳנִיּוֹת תַּרְשִֽׁישׁ׃
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)
כַּאֲשֶׁר שָׁמַעְנוּ ׀ כֵּן רָאִינוּ בְּעִיר־יְהֹוָה צְבָאוֹת בְּעִיר אֱלֹהֵינוּ אֱלֹהִים יְכוֹנְנֶהָ עַד־עוֹלָם סֶֽלָה׃
9 We have thought, O God, of thy loving-kindness, in the midst of thy temple.
דִּמִּינוּ אֱלֹהִים חַסְדֶּךָ בְּקֶרֶב הֵיכָלֶֽךָ׃
10 According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.
כְּשִׁמְךָ אֱלֹהִים כֵּן תְּהִלָּתְךָ עַל־קַצְוֵי־אֶרֶץ צֶדֶק מָלְאָה יְמִינֶֽךָ׃
11 Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments.
יִשְׂמַח ׀ הַר־צִיּוֹן תָּגֵלְנָה בְּנוֹת יְהוּדָה לְמַעַן מִשְׁפָּטֶֽיךָ׃
12 Walk about Zion, and go round about her: count the towers thereof;
סֹבּוּ צִיּוֹן וְהַקִּיפוּהָ סִפְרוּ מִגְדָּלֶֽיהָ׃
13 Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces: that ye may tell it to the generation following.
שִׁיתוּ לִבְּכֶם ׀ לְֽחֵילָהֿ פַּסְּגוּ אַרְמְנוֹתֶיהָ לְמַעַן תְּסַפְּרוּ לְדוֹר אַֽחֲרֽוֹן׃
14 For this God is our God for ever and ever; he will be our guide until death.
כִּי זֶה ׀ אֱלֹהִים אֱלֹהֵינוּ עוֹלָם וָעֶד הוּא יְנַהֲגֵנוּ עַל־מֽוּת׃
