Psalms 48
1 A psalm of a canticle, for the sons of Core, on the second day of the week. Great is the Lord, and exceedingly 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 With the joy of the whole earth is mount Sion founded, on the sides of the north, the city of the great king.
Sveto brdo njegovo, brijeg veličanstven, radost je zemlji svoj. Gora Sion, na krajnjem sjeveru, grad je Kralja velikog.
3 In her houses shall God be known, when he shall protect her.
Bog u kulama njegovim jakom se pokaza utvrdom.
4 For behold the kings of the earth assembled themselves: they gathered together.
Jer gle, složiše se kraljevi, navališe zajedno.
5 So they saw, and they wondered, they were troubled, they were moved:
Čim vidješe, zapanjiše se i zbunjeni u bijeg nagnuše.
6 Trembling took hold of them. There were pains as of a woman in labour.
Ondje ih trepet obuze kao muka porodilje,
7 With a vehement wind thou shalt break in pieces the ships of Tharsis.
kao kad vjetar istočni razbija brodove taršiške.
8 As we have heard, so have we seen, in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God: God hath founded it for ever.
Što smo čuli, sada vidimo: grad Jahve nad Vojskama, grad Boga našega - Bog ga utvrdi dovijeka.
9 We have received thy mercy, O God, in the midst of thy temple.
Spominjemo se, Bože, tvoje dobrote usred Hrama tvojega.
10 According to thy name, O God, so also is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of justice.
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, and the daughters of Juda be glad; because of thy judgments, O Lord.
Neka kliču gradovi Judini zbog tvojih sudova!
12 Surround Sion, and encompass her: tell ye in her towers.
Obiđite Sion i prođite njime, prebrojite kule njegove!
13 Set your hearts on her strength; and distribute her houses, that ye may relate it in another generation.
Pogledajte dobro bedeme njegove, promotrite mu potanko dvorove: da biste kazivali budućem koljenu:
14 For this is God, our God unto eternity, and for ever and ever: he shall rule us for evermore.
“Takav je Bog, Bog naš zasvagda i dovijeka! On neka nas vodi!”
