Psalms 48
1 Great is YHWH, and greatly to be praised in the city of our Elohim, in the mountain of his holiness.
| שִׁיר מִזְמוֹר לִבְנֵי־קֹֽרַח׃ גָּדוֹל יְהוָה וּמְהֻלָּל מְאֹד בְּעִיר אֱלֹהֵינוּ הַר־קָדְשֽׁוֹ׃ |
2 Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.
| יְפֵה נוֹף מְשׂוֹשׂ כָּל־הָאָרֶץ הַר־צִיּוֹן יַרְכְּתֵי צָפוֹן קִרְיַת מֶלֶךְ רָֽב׃ |
3 Elohim is known in her palaces for a refuge.
| אֱלֹהִים בְּאַרְמְנוֹתֶיהָ נוֹדַע לְמִשְׂגָּֽב׃ |
4 For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together.
| כִּֽי־הִנֵּה הַמְּלָכִים נֽוֹעֲדוּ עָבְרוּ יַחְדָּֽו׃ |
5 They saw it, and so they marvelled; they were troubled, and hasted away.
| הֵמָּה רָאוּ כֵּן תָּמָהוּ נִבְהֲלוּ נֶחְפָּֽזוּ׃ |
6 Fear took hold upon them there, and pain, as of a woman in travail.
| רְעָדָה אֲחָזָתַם שָׁם חִיל כַּיּוֹלֵֽדָה׃ |
7 Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.
| בְּרוּחַ קָדִים תְּשַׁבֵּר אֳנִיּוֹת תַּרְשִֽׁישׁ׃ |
8 As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of YHWH of hosts, in the city of our Elohim: Elohim will establish it for ever. (Selah)
| כַּאֲשֶׁר שָׁמַעְנוּ ׀ כֵּן רָאִינוּ בְּעִיר־יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת בְּעִיר אֱלֹהֵינוּ אֱלֹהִים יְכוֹנְנֶהָ עַד־עוֹלָם סֶֽלָה׃ |
9 We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O Elohim, in the midst of thy temple.
| דִּמִּינוּ אֱלֹהִים חַסְדֶּךָ בְּקֶרֶב הֵיכָלֶֽךָ׃ |
10 According to thy name, O Elohim, 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 rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments.
| יִשְׂמַח ׀ הַר־צִיּוֹן תָּגֵלְנָה בְּנוֹת יְהוּדָה לְמַעַן מִשְׁפָּטֶֽיךָ׃ |
12 Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers thereof.
| סֹבּוּ צִיּוֹן וְהַקִּיפוּהָ סִפְרוּ מִגְדָּלֶֽיהָ׃ |
13 Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following.
| שִׁיתוּ לִבְּכֶם ׀ לְֽחֵילָה פַּסְּגוּ אַרְמְנוֹתֶיהָ לְמַעַן תְּסַפְּרוּ לְדוֹר אַחֲרֽוֹן׃ |
14 For this Elohim is our Elohim for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.
| כִּי זֶה ׀ אֱלֹהִים אֱלֹהֵינוּ עוֹלָם וָעֶד הוּא יְנַהֲגֵנוּ עַל־מֽוּת׃ |
