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.
Nyanyian. Mazmur bani Korah. Besarlah TUHAN dan sangat terpuji di kota Allah kita!
2 Beautiful [for] elevation, A joy of all the land, [is] Mount Zion, The sides of the north, the city of [the] great King.
Gunung-Nya yang kudus, yang menjulang permai, adalah kegirangan bagi seluruh bumi; gunung Sion itu, jauh di sebelah utara, kota Raja Besar.
3 God is known for a tower in her high places.
Dalam puri-purinya Allah memperkenalkan diri-Nya sebagai benteng.
4 For behold, the kings met, they passed by together,
Sebab lihat, raja-raja datang berkumpul, mereka bersama-sama berjalan maju;
5 They have seen—so they have marveled, They have been troubled, they were hurried away.
demi mereka melihatnya, mereka tercengang-cengang, terkejut, lalu lari kebingungan.
6 Trembling has seized them there, Pain, as of a travailing woman.
Kegentaran menimpa mereka di sana; mereka kesakitan seperti perempuan yang hendak melahirkan.
7 By an east wind You shatter ships of Tarshish.
Dengan angin timur Engkau memecahkan kapal-kapal Tarsis.
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)
Seperti yang telah kita dengar, demikianlah juga kita lihat, di kota TUHAN semesta alam, di kota Allah kita; Allah menegakkannya untuk selama-lamanya. (Sela)
9 We have thought, O God, of Your kindness, In the midst of Your temple,
Kami mengingat, ya Allah, kasih setia-Mu di dalam bait-Mu.
10 As [is] Your Name, O God, so [is] Your praise, Over the ends of the earth, Righteousness has filled Your right hand.
Seperti nama-Mu, ya Allah, demikianlah kemasyhuran-Mu sampai ke ujung bumi; tangan kanan-Mu penuh dengan keadilan.
11 Mount Zion rejoices, The daughters of Judah are joyful, For the sake of Your judgments.
Biarlah gunung Sion bersukacita; biarlah anak-anak perempuan Yehuda bersorak-sorak oleh karena penghukuman-Mu!
12 Surround Zion, and go around her, count her towers,
Kelilingilah Sion dan edarilah dia, hitunglah menaranya,
13 Set your heart to her bulwark, Consider her high places, So that you recount to a later generation,
perhatikanlah temboknya, jalanilah puri-purinya, supaya kamu dapat menceriterakannya kepada angkatan yang kemudian:
14 That this God [is] our God—For all time and forever, He leads us over death!
Sesungguhnya inilah Allah, Allah kitalah Dia seterusnya dan untuk selamanya! Dialah yang memimpin kita!
