< Psalms 48 >
1 A song or Psalme committed to the sonnes of Korah. Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praysed, in the Citie of our God, euen vpon his holy Mountaine.
Pjesma. Psalam. Sinova Korahovih. Velik je Jahve, hvale predostojan u gradu Boga našega.
2 Mount Zion, lying Northwarde, is faire in situation: it is the ioy of the whole earth, and the Citie of the great King.
Sveto brdo njegovo, brijeg veličanstven, radost je zemlji svoj. Gora Sion, na krajnjem sjeveru, grad je Kralja velikog.
3 In the palaces thereof God is knowen for a refuge.
Bog u kulama njegovim jakom se pokaza utvrdom.
4 For lo, the Kings were gathered, and went together.
Jer gle, složiše se kraljevi, navališe zajedno.
5 When they sawe it, they marueiled: they were astonied, and suddenly driuen backe.
Čim vidješe, zapanjiše se i zbunjeni u bijeg nagnuše.
6 Feare came there vpon them, and sorowe, as vpon a woman in trauaile.
Ondje ih trepet obuze kao muka porodilje,
7 As with an East winde thou breakest the shippes of Tarshish, so were they destroyed.
kao kad vjetar istočni razbija brodove taršiške.
8 As we haue heard, so haue we seene in the citie of the Lord of hostes, in the Citie of our God: God will stablish it for euer. (Selah)
Što smo čuli, sada vidimo: grad Jahve nad Vojskama, grad Boga našega - Bog ga utvrdi dovijeka.
9 We waite for thy louing kindnes, O God, in the middes of thy Temple.
Spominjemo se, Bože, tvoje dobrote usred Hrama tvojega.
10 O God, according vnto thy Name, so is thy prayse vnto the worlds end: thy right hand is full of righteousnes.
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 Zion reioyce, and the daughters of Iudah be glad, because of thy iudgements.
Neka kliču gradovi Judini zbog tvojih sudova!
12 Compasse about Zion, and goe round about it, and tell the towres thereof.
Obiđite Sion i prođite njime, prebrojite kule njegove!
13 Marke well the wall thereof: beholde her towres, that ye may tell your posteritie.
Pogledajte dobro bedeme njegove, promotrite mu potanko dvorove: da biste kazivali budućem koljenu:
14 For this God is our God for euer and euer: he shall be our guide vnto the death.
“Takav je Bog, Bog naš zasvagda i dovijeka! On neka nas vodi!”
