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,

科辣黑後裔的詩歌。 在我們天主的城池中，上主至大，應受到讚頌。

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.

祂的聖山巍峨高聳，是普世的歡喜，北方中心熙雍聖山，是大王的城邑。

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

天主居於堡壘的中央，顯自己為穩固的保障。

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

請看，眾王紛紛相聚，他們蜂擁走向前去，

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

他們一見，驚魂喪膽，張惶失措，抱頭鼠竄。

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

他們在那裡惶懼恐怖，苦痛有如臨盆的孕婦；

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

好像塔爾史士的船隻，為強烈的東風所襲擊。

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)

在萬軍上主的城裏，即我們天主的城堡，我們所見正如所聞：天主必使城堡永固。

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

天主，我們在你的殿裏，沉思默念著你的仁慈。

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

天主，你的名號遠達地極，你受的讚美亦應該如此。你的右手全充滿了正義，

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

願熙雍山因你的公正而喜樂；猶大女子也要因此歡欣踴躍。

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

你們環繞熙雍巡遊，你們數點她的城樓，

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

觀察她的城廓，巡視她的碉堡，是為叫你們向後代子孫陳述：

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

天主的確是偉大的天主，也永遠是我們的天主，始終領導我們的天主。
