Psalms 48

1 “A song and psalm by the sons of Korach.” Great is the Lord, and highly praised in the city of our God, [in] his holy mountain.

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

2 A beautiful district, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, the farthest 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 become known in her palaces as a defence.

Bog u kulama njegovim jakom se pokaza utvrdom.

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

Jer gle, složiše se kraljevi, navališe zajedno.

5 They indeed saw—[and] so they were astonished; they were terrified, they were confounded.

Čim vidješe, zapanjiše se i zbunjeni u bijeg nagnuše.

6 Trembling seized on them there, pain, as on a woman in travail.

Ondje ih trepet obuze kao muka porodilje,

7 With the east wind thou breakest the ships of Tharshish.

kao kad vjetar istočni razbija brodove taršiške.

8 As we have heard, so have we seen [it] 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 reflected on thy kindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple.

Spominjemo se, Bože, tvoje dobrote usred Hrama tvojega.

10 As thy name is, O God, so is thy praise over the ends of the earth: of righteousness is thy right hand full.

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 Compass Zion about, and walk round about her; number her towers.

Obiđite Sion i prođite njime, prebrojite kule njegove!

13 Direct your mind to her outer wall, mark carefully her palaces: in order that ye may tell it to the latest generation.

Pogledajte dobro bedeme njegove, promotrite mu potanko dvorove: da biste kazivali budućem koljenu:

14 For this One is God, 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!”
