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.

Velik je Gospod in silno bodi hvaljen v mestu našega Boga, na gori njegove svetosti.

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

Lepa zaradi lege, radost celotne zemlje, je gora Sion na straneh severa, mesto vélikega Kralja.

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

Bog je v njenih palačah razpoznan za zatočišče.

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

Kajti, glej, kralji so bili zbrani, skupaj so šli mimo.

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

Videli so to in tako so se čudili; bili so vznemirjeni in odhiteli.

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

Tam sta jih prevzela strah in bolečina kakor žensko v porodnih mukah.

7 By an east wind You shatter ships of Tarshish.

Z vzhodnikom lomiš ladje iz Taršíša.

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)

Kakor smo slišali, tako smo videli v mestu Gospoda nad bojevniki, v mestu svojega Boga. Bog ga bo utrdil na veke. (Sela)

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

Premišljevali smo o tvoji ljubeči skrbnosti, oh Bog, v sredi tvojega templja.

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

Glede na tvoje ime, oh Bog, taka je tvoja hvala do koncev zemlje. Tvoja desnica je polna pravičnosti.

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

Naj se gora Sion veseli, naj bodo Judove hčere radostne zaradi tvojih sodb.

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

Hodite okoli Siona in ga obhodite, štejte njegove stolpe.

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

Dobro označite njegove branike, opazujte njegove palače, da boste to lahko pripovedovali naslednjemu rodu.

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

Kajti ta Bog je naš Bog na veke vekov. On bo naš vodnik celó do smrti.
