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,

Velik je Gospod in silno bodi hvaljen v mestu našega Boga, na gori njegove svetosti.

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.

Lepa zaradi lege, radost celotne zemlje, je gora Sion na straneh severa, mesto vélikega Kralja.

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

Bog je v njenih palačah razpoznan za zatočišče.

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

Kajti, glej, kralji so bili zbrani, skupaj so šli mimo.

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

Videli so to in tako so se čudili; bili so vznemirjeni in odhiteli.

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

Tam sta jih prevzela strah in bolečina kakor žensko v porodnih mukah.

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

Z vzhodnikom lomiš ladje iz Taršíša.

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)

Kakor smo slišali, tako smo videli v mestu Gospoda nad bojevniki, v mestu svojega Boga. Bog ga bo utrdil na veke. (Sela)

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

Premišljevali smo o tvoji ljubeči skrbnosti, oh Bog, v sredi tvojega templja.

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

Glede na tvoje ime, oh Bog, taka je tvoja hvala do koncev zemlje. Tvoja desnica je polna pravičnosti.

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

Naj se gora Sion veseli, naj bodo Judove hčere radostne zaradi tvojih sodb.

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

Hodite okoli Siona in ga obhodite, štejte njegove stolpe.

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

Dobro označite njegove branike, opazujte njegove palače, da boste to lahko pripovedovali naslednjemu rodu.

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

Kajti ta Bog je naš Bog na veke vekov. On bo naš vodnik celó do smrti.
