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.

Pesem in psalm naslednikom Koretovim. Velik je Gospod in hvaljen silno, v mestu Boga našega, na gori svetosti svoje:

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.

V lepoti kraja, veselji vse zemlje, na gori Sijonski, na severni strani v mestu kralja vélikega.

3 God is known in her palaces for a refuge.

Bog v dvorih njegovih spoznava se za grad.

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

Ker, glej, sešli so se kralji, šli so vkup.

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

Sami so videli, vkup so strmeli, zmedli so se, izbežali urno.

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

Trepet jih je obšel tam, bolečina kakor porodnico.

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

Z burjo razbijaš ladije morske.

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)

Kakor smo slišali, tako smo videli v mestu Gospoda vojnih krdél, v mestu Boga našega; Bog ga utrjuje na veke.

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

Milost tvojo premišljamo, o Bog, sredi tvojega svetišča.

10 According to thy name, O God, so [is] thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.

Kakor ime tvoje, tako je slava tvoja noter do krajev zemlje; pravice je polna desnica tvoja.

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

Veselí se naj gora Sijonska, radujejo se hčere Judove zavoljo sodeb tvojih.

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

Obhajajte Sijon, in obdajajte ga; štejte stolpe njegove.

13 Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell [it] to the generation following.

Upirajte misli svoje na trdnjavo, povzdignite oči k dvorom njegovim, da oznanjate prihodnjemu rodu.

14 For this God [is] our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide [even] unto death.

Ker ta je naš Bog na vedno večne čase; ta nas bode vodil noter do smrti.
