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.

Velik je Gospod in silno bodi hvaljen v mestu našega Boga, na gori njegove svetosti.

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.

Lepa zaradi lege, radost celotne zemlje, je gora Sion na straneh severa, mesto vélikega Kralja.

3 God is known in her palaces as a high fortress.

Bog je v njenih palačah razpoznan za zatočišče.

4 For behold, the kings assembled themselves, they passed by together;

Kajti, glej, kralji so bili zbrani, skupaj so šli mimo.

5 They saw, — so they marvelled; they were troubled, they fled in consternation:

Videli so to in tako so se čudili; bili so vznemirjeni in odhiteli.

6 Trembling took hold upon them there; anguish, as of a woman in travail.

Tam sta jih prevzela strah in bolečina kakor žensko v porodnih mukah.

7 With an east wind thou hast broken the ships of Tarshish.

Z vzhodnikom lomiš ladje iz Taršíša.

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)

Kakor smo slišali, tako smo videli v mestu Gospoda nad bojevniki, v mestu svojega Boga. Bog ga bo utrdil na veke. (Sela)

9 We have thought, O God, of thy loving-kindness, in the midst of thy temple.

Premišljevali smo o tvoji ljubeči skrbnosti, oh Bog, v sredi tvojega templja.

10 According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.

Glede na tvoje ime, oh Bog, taka je tvoja hvala do koncev zemlje. Tvoja desnica je polna pravičnosti.

11 Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments.

Naj se gora Sion veseli, naj bodo Judove hčere radostne zaradi tvojih sodb.

12 Walk about Zion, and go round about her: count the towers thereof;

Hodite okoli Siona in ga obhodite, štejte njegove stolpe.

13 Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces: that ye may tell it to the generation following.

Dobro označite njegove branike, opazujte njegove palače, da boste to lahko pripovedovali naslednjemu rodu.

14 For this God is our God for ever and ever; he will be our guide until death.

Kajti ta Bog je naš Bog na veke vekov. On bo naš vodnik celó do smrti.
