< Psalms 48 >
1 A SONG. A PSALM OF THE SONS OF KORAH. Great [is] YHWH, and greatly praised, In the city of our God—His holy hill.
可拉後裔的詩歌。 耶和華本為大! 在我們上帝的城中, 在他的聖山上,該受大讚美。
2 Beautiful [for] elevation, A joy of all the land, [is] Mount Zion, The sides of the north, the city of [the] great King.
錫安山-大君王的城, 在北面居高華美, 為全地所喜悅。
3 God is known for a tower in her high places.
上帝在其宮中, 自顯為避難所。
4 For behold, the kings met, they passed by together,
看哪,眾王會合, 一同經過。
5 They have seen—so they have marveled, They have been troubled, they were hurried away.
他們見了這城就驚奇喪膽, 急忙逃跑。
6 Trembling has seized them there, Pain, as of a travailing woman.
他們在那裏被戰兢疼痛抓住, 好像產難的婦人一樣。
7 By an east wind You shatter ships of Tarshish.
上帝啊,你用東風打破他施的船隻。
8 As we have heard, so we have seen, In the city of YHWH of hosts, In the city of our God, God establishes her for all time. (Selah)
我們在萬軍之耶和華的城中 -就是我們上帝的城中-所看見的, 正如我們所聽見的。 上帝必堅立這城,直到永遠。 (細拉)
9 We have thought, O God, of Your kindness, In the midst of Your temple,
上帝啊,我們在你的殿中想念你的慈愛。
10 As [is] Your Name, O God, so [is] Your praise, Over the ends of the earth, Righteousness has filled Your right hand.
上帝啊,你受的讚美正與你的名相稱,直到地極! 你的右手滿了公義。
11 Mount Zion rejoices, The daughters of Judah are joyful, For the sake of Your judgments.
因你的判斷,錫安山應當歡喜, 猶大的城邑應當快樂。
12 Surround Zion, and go around her, count her towers,
你們當周遊錫安, 四圍旋繞,數點城樓,
13 Set your heart to her bulwark, Consider her high places, So that you recount to a later generation,
細看她的外郭, 察看她的宮殿, 為要傳說到後代。
14 That this God [is] our God—For all time and forever, He leads us over death!
因為這上帝永永遠遠為我們的上帝; 他必作我們引路的,直到死時。
