Psalms 48

1 For the music director. A psalm of the sons of Korah. The Lord is supreme! He deserves praise in the city of our God on his holy mountain.

Pesem in psalm naslednikom Koretovim. Velik je Gospod in hvaljen silno, v mestu Boga našega, na gori svetosti svoje:

2 Mount Zion is high and beautiful, bringing happiness to all the earth; on the northern side is the city of the great King.

V lepoti kraja, veselji vse zemlje, na gori Sijonski, na severni strani v mestu kralja vélikega.

3 God himself is in the city's fortresses; he is recognized as its defender.

Bog v dvorih njegovih spoznava se za grad.

4 Look at what happened when foreign kings joined forces and came to attack the city.

Ker, glej, sešli so se kralji, šli so vkup.

5 As soon as they saw it they were astonished and ran away terrified.

Sami so videli, vkup so strmeli, zmedli so se, izbežali urno.

6 They shook all over, and were in agonizing pain like a woman giving birth,

Trepet jih je obšel tam, bolečina kakor porodnico.

7 just as the strong east wind wrecks the ships from Tarshish.

Z burjo razbijaš ladije morske.

8 Just as we had heard, but now we have seen the city of the Lord Almighty. This is the city of our God; he makes it secure forever. (Selah)

Kakor smo slišali, tako smo videli v mestu Gospoda vojnih krdél, v mestu Boga našega; Bog ga utrjuje na veke.

9 God, we recall your trustworthy love as we worship in the Temple.

Milost tvojo premišljamo, o Bog, sredi tvojega svetišča.

10 As is fitting for your reputation, God, praises to you stretch all around the world. What you do is always right!

Kakor ime tvoje, tako je slava tvoja noter do krajev zemlje; pravice je polna desnica tvoja.

11 Let the people of Mount Zion be glad; let the people of Judah celebrate because your judgments are always fair!

Veselí se naj gora Sijonska, radujejo se hčere Judove zavoljo sodeb tvojih.

12 Go and take a look at Zion. Count the towers as you walk around.

Obhajajte Sijon, in obdajajte ga; štejte stolpe njegove.

13 Inspect the fortifications. Examine the citadels, so you can describe everything to the next generation, telling them:

Upirajte misli svoje na trdnjavo, povzdignite oči k dvorom njegovim, da oznanjate prihodnjemu rodu.

14 “This is who our God is. He is our God forever and ever. He himself will lead us until the very end.”

Ker ta je naš Bog na vedno večne čase; ta nas bode vodil noter do smrti.
