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,
| שִׁיר מִזְמוֹר לִבְנֵי־קֹֽרַח׃ גָּדוֹל יְהוָה וּמְהֻלָּל מְאֹד בְּעִיר אֱלֹהֵינוּ הַר־קָדְשֽׁוֹ׃ |
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.
| יְפֵה נוֹף מְשׂוֹשׂ כָּל־הָאָרֶץ הַר־צִיּוֹן יַרְכְּתֵי צָפוֹן קִרְיַת מֶלֶךְ רָֽב׃ |
3 God in her palaces hath made Himself known for a stronghold.
| אֱלֹהִים בְּאַרְמְנוֹתֶיהָ נוֹדַע לְמִשְׂגָּֽב׃ |
4 For, lo, the kings assembled themselves, they came onward together.
| כִּֽי־הִנֵּה הַמְּלָכִים נֽוֹעֲדוּ עָבְרוּ יַחְדָּֽו׃ |
5 They saw, straightway they were amazed; they were affrighted, they hasted away.
| הֵמָּה רָאוּ כֵּן תָּמָהוּ נִבְהֲלוּ נֶחְפָּֽזוּ׃ |
6 Trembling took hold of them there, pangs, as of a woman in travail.
| רְעָדָה אֲחָזָתַם שָׁם חִיל כַּיּוֹלֵֽדָה׃ |
7 With the east wind Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish.
| בְּרוּחַ קָדִים תְּשַׁבֵּר אֳנִיּוֹת תַּרְשִֽׁישׁ׃ |
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)
| כַּאֲשֶׁר שָׁמַעְנוּ ׀ כֵּן רָאִינוּ בְּעִיר־יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת בְּעִיר אֱלֹהֵינוּ אֱלֹהִים יְכוֹנְנֶהָ עַד־עוֹלָם סֶֽלָה׃ |
9 We have thought on Thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of Thy temple.
| דִּמִּינוּ אֱלֹהִים חַסְדֶּךָ בְּקֶרֶב הֵיכָלֶֽךָ׃ |
10 As is Thy name, O God, so is Thy praise unto the ends of the earth; Thy right hand is full of righteousness.
| כְּשִׁמְךָ אֱלֹהִים כֵּן תְּהִלָּתְךָ עַל־קַצְוֵי־אֶרֶץ צֶדֶק מָלְאָה יְמִינֶֽךָ׃ |
11 Let mount Zion be glad, let the daughters of Judah rejoice, because of Thy judgments.
| יִשְׂמַח ׀ הַר־צִיּוֹן תָּגֵלְנָה בְּנוֹת יְהוּדָה לְמַעַן מִשְׁפָּטֶֽיךָ׃ |
12 Walk about Zion, and go round about her; count the towers thereof.
| סֹבּוּ צִיּוֹן וְהַקִּיפוּהָ סִפְרוּ מִגְדָּלֶֽיהָ׃ |
13 Mark ye well her ramparts, traverse her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following.
| שִׁיתוּ לִבְּכֶם ׀ לְֽחֵילָה פַּסְּגוּ אַרְמְנוֹתֶיהָ לְמַעַן תְּסַפְּרוּ לְדוֹר אַחֲרֽוֹן׃ |
14 For such is God, our God, for ever and ever; He will guide us eternally.
| כִּי זֶה ׀ אֱלֹהִים אֱלֹהֵינוּ עוֹלָם וָעֶד הוּא יְנַהֲגֵנוּ עַל־מֽוּת׃ |
