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.

ヱホバは大なり われらの神の都そのきよき山のうへにて甚くほめたたへられたまふべし

2 A beautiful district, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, the farthest north, the city of the great King.

シオンの山はきたの端たかくしてうるはしく喜悦を地にあまねくあたふ ここは大なる王のみやこなり

3 God is become known in her palaces as a defence.

そのもろもろの殿のうちに神はおのれをたかき櫓としてあらはしたまへり

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

みよ王等はつどひあつまりて偕にすぎゆきぬ

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

かれらは都をみてあやしみ且おそれて忽ちのがれされり

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

戰慄はかれらにのぞみ その苦痛は子をうまんとする婦のごとし

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

なんぢは東風をおこしてタルシシの舟をやぶりたまふ

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)

曩にわれらが聞しごとく今われらは萬軍のヱホバの都われらの神のみやこにて之をみることをえたり 神はこの都をとこしへまで固くしたまはん (セラ)

9 We have reflected on thy kindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple.

神よ我らはなんぢの宮のうちにて仁慈をおもへり

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

神よなんぢの譽はその名のごとく地の極にまでおよべり なんぢの右手はただしきにて充り

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

なんぢのもろもろの審判によりてシオンの山はよろこびユダの女輩はたのしむべし

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

シオンの周圍をありき徧くめぐりてその櫓をかぞへよ

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

その石垣に目をとめよ そのもろもろの殿をみよ なんぢらこれを後代にかたりつたへんが爲なり

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

そはこの神はいや遠長にわれらの神にましましてわれらを死るまでみちびきたまはん
