Psalms 48

1 A Song [and] Psalm for the sons of Korah. Great [is] the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, [in] the mountain of his holiness.

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

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.

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

3 God is known in her palaces for a refuge.

Bog u kulama njegovim jakom se pokaza utvrdom.

4 For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together.

Jer gle, složiše se kraljevi, navališe zajedno.

5 They saw [it, and] so they marvelled; they were troubled, [and] hasted away.

Čim vidješe, zapanjiše se i zbunjeni u bijeg nagnuše.

6 Fear took hold upon them there, [and] pain, as of a woman in travail.

Ondje ih trepet obuze kao muka porodilje,

7 Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.

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 will 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 of thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple.

Spominjemo se, Bože, tvoje dobrote usred Hrama tvojega.

10 According to 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 rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments.

Neka kliču gradovi Judini zbog tvojih sudova!

12 Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers thereof.

Obiđite Sion i prođite njime, prebrojite kule njegove!

13 Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider 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 this God [is] our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide [even] unto death.

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