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.

Psalmus Cantici, filiis Core, secunda sabbati. Magnus Dominus, et laudabilis nimis in civitate Dei nostri, in monte sancto eius.

2 Beautiful [for] elevation, A joy of all the land, [is] Mount Zion, The sides of the north, the city of [the] great King.

Fundatur exultatione universæ terræ mons Sion, latera Aquilonis, civitas Regis magni.

3 God is known for a tower in her high places.

Deus in domibus eius cognoscetur, cum suscipiet eam.

4 For behold, the kings met, they passed by together,

Quoniam ecce reges terræ congregati sunt: convenerunt in unum.

5 They have seen—so they have marveled, They have been troubled, they were hurried away.

Ipsi videntes sic admirati sunt, conturbati sunt, commoti sunt:

6 Trembling has seized them there, Pain, as of a travailing woman.

tremor apprehendit eos. Ibi dolores ut parturientis,

7 By an east wind You shatter ships of Tarshish.

in spiritu vehementi conteres naves Tharsis.

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)

Sicut audivimus, sic vidimus in civitate Domini virtutum, in civitate Dei nostri: Deus fundavit eam in æternum.

9 We have thought, O God, of Your kindness, In the midst of Your temple,

Suscepimus Deus misericordiam tuam, in medio templi tui.

10 As [is] Your Name, O God, so [is] Your praise, Over the ends of the earth, Righteousness has filled Your right hand.

Secundum nomen tuum Deus, sic et laus tua in fines terræ: iustitia plena est dextera tua.

11 Mount Zion rejoices, The daughters of Judah are joyful, For the sake of Your judgments.

Lætetur mons Sion, et exultent filiæ Iudæ, propter iudicia tua Domine.

12 Surround Zion, and go around her, count her towers,

Circumdate Sion, et complectimini eam: narrate in turribus eius.

13 Set your heart to her bulwark, Consider her high places, So that you recount to a later generation,

Ponite corda vestra in virtute eius: et distribuite domos eius, ut enarretis in progenie altera.

14 That this God [is] our God—For all time and forever, He leads us over death!

Quoniam hic est Deus, Deus noster in æternum, et in sæculum sæculi: ipse reget nos in sæcula.
