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.

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

2 With the joy of the whole earth is mount Sion founded, 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 In her houses shall God be known, when he shall protect her.

Bog je v njenih palačah razpoznan za zatočišče.

4 For behold the kings of the earth assembled themselves: they gathered together.

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

5 So they saw, and they wondered, they were troubled, they were moved:

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

6 Trembling took hold of them. There were pains as of a woman in labour.

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

7 With a vehement wind thou shalt break in pieces the ships of Tharsis.

Z vzhodnikom lomiš ladje iz Taršíša.

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.

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 received thy mercy, O God, 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 also is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of justice.

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

11 Let mount Sion rejoice, and the daughters of Juda be glad; because of thy judgments, O Lord.

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

12 Surround Sion, and encompass her: tell ye in her towers.

Hodite okoli Siona in ga obhodite, štejte njegove stolpe.

13 Set your hearts on her strength; and distribute her houses, that ye may relate it in another generation.

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

14 For this is God, our God unto eternity, and for ever and ever: he shall rule us for evermore.

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