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,

Pjesma. Psalam. Sinova Korahovih. Velik je Jahve, hvale predostojan u gradu Boga našega.

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.

Sveto brdo njegovo, brijeg veličanstven, radost je zemlji svoj. Gora Sion, na krajnjem sjeveru, grad je Kralja velikog.

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

Bog u kulama njegovim jakom se pokaza utvrdom.

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

Jer gle, složiše se kraljevi, navališe zajedno.

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

Čim vidješe, zapanjiše se i zbunjeni u bijeg nagnuše.

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

Ondje ih trepet obuze kao muka porodilje,

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

kao kad vjetar istočni razbija brodove taršiške.

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)

Što smo čuli, sada vidimo: grad Jahve nad Vojskama, grad Boga našega - Bog ga utvrdi dovijeka.

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

Spominjemo se, Bože, tvoje dobrote usred Hrama tvojega.

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

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 be glad, let the daughters of Judah rejoice, because of Thy judgments.

Neka kliču gradovi Judini zbog tvojih sudova!

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

Obiđite Sion i prođite njime, prebrojite kule njegove!

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

Pogledajte dobro bedeme njegove, promotrite mu potanko dvorove: da biste kazivali budućem koljenu:

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

“Takav je Bog, Bog naš zasvagda i dovijeka! On neka nas vodi!”
