Psalms 48

1 A Song; a Psalm of the sons of Korah. Great is the LORD, and highly to be praised, in the city of our God, His holy mountain,

١ لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ لِبَنِي قُورَحَ مَا أَعْظَمَ الرَّبَّ وَمَا أَجْدَرَهُ بِالتَّسْبِيحِ فِي مَدِينَةِ إِلَهِنَا، فِي جَبَلِ قَدَاسَتِهِ!

2 Fair in situation, the joy of the whole earth; even mount Zion, the uttermost parts of the north, the city of the great King.

٢ جَبَلُ صِهْيَوْنَ جَمِيلٌ فِي شُمُوخِهِ، (هُوَ) فَرَحُ كُلِّ الأَرْضِ حَتَّى أَقَاصِي الشَّمَالِ. هُوَ مَدِينَةُ الْمَلِكِ الْعَظِيمِ.

3 God in her palaces hath made Himself known for a stronghold.

٣ اللهُ الْمُقِيمُ فِي قُصُورِهَا مَعْرُوفٌ بِأَنَّهُ حِصْنٌ مَنِيعٌ.

4 For, lo, the kings assembled themselves, they came onward together.

٤ هُوَذَا الْمُلُوكُ قَدِ احْتَشَدُوا وَعَبَرُوا مَعاً.

5 They saw, straightway they were amazed; they were affrighted, they hasted away.

٥ رَأَوْا بَيْتَ اللهِ فَذُهِلُوا. ارْتَاعُوا وَفَرُّوا.

6 Trembling took hold of them there, pangs, as of a woman in travail.

٦ هُنَاكَ اعْتَرَتْهُمْ رِعْدَةٌ فَتَوَجَّعُوا كَامْرَأَةٍ فِي مَخَاضِهَا.

7 With the east wind Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish.

٧ تُحَطِّمُ سُفُنَ تَرْشِيشَ بِرِيحٍ شَرْقِيَّةٍ.

8 As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God — God establish it for ever. (Selah)

٨ كَمَا سَمِعْنَا رَأَيْنَا فِي مَدِينَةِ رَبِّ الْجُنُودِ، مَدِينَةِ إِلَهِنَا. حَقّاً إِنَّ اللهَ يُثَبِّتُهَا إِلَى الأَبَدِ.

9 We have thought on Thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of Thy temple.

٩ تَأَمَّلْنَا يَا اللهُ فِي رَحْمَتِكَ فِي وَسَطِ هَيْكَلِكَ.

10 As is Thy name, O God, so is Thy praise unto the ends of the earth; Thy right hand is full of righteousness.

١٠ تَسْبِيحُكَ يَا اللهُ مِثْلُ اسْمِكَ يَبْلُغُ أَقَاصِي الأَرْضِ. يَمِينُكَ مَلآنَةٌ صَلاحاً.

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

١١ لِيَفْرَحْ جَبَلُ صِهْيَوْنَ وَلْتَبْتَهِجْ بَنَاتُ يَهُوذَا مِنْ أَجْلِ أَحْكَامِ قَضَائِكَ.

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

١٢ جُولُوا فِي صِهْيَوْنَ وَدُورُوا حَوْلَهَا. عُدُّوا أَبْرَاجَهَا.

13 Mark ye well her ramparts, traverse her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following.

١٣ تَفَرَّسُوا فِي مَتَارِيسِهَا وَتَأَمَّلُوا قُصُورَهَا لِتُخْبِرُوا بِها الأَجْيَالَ الْقَادِمَةَ.

14 For such is God, our God, for ever and ever; He will guide us eternally.

١٤ لأَنَّ اللهَ هَذَا هُوَ إِلَهُنَا إِلَى الدَّهْرِ وَالأَبَدِ، وَهُوَ هَادِينَا حَتَّى الْمَوْتِ.
