Psalms 48
1 [A Song. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.] Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised, in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.
| لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ لِبَنِي قُورَحَ مَا أَعْظَمَ الرَّبَّ وَمَا أَجْدَرَهُ بِالتَّسْبِيحِ فِي مَدِينَةِ إِلَهِنَا، فِي جَبَلِ قَدَاسَتِهِ! | ١ |
2 Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion, in the far north, the city of the great King.
| جَبَلُ صِهْيَوْنَ جَمِيلٌ فِي شُمُوخِهِ، (هُوَ) فَرَحُ كُلِّ الأَرْضِ حَتَّى أَقَاصِي الشَّمَالِ. هُوَ مَدِينَةُ الْمَلِكِ الْعَظِيمِ. | ٢ |
3 God has shown himself in her citadels as a refuge.
| اللهُ الْمُقِيمُ فِي قُصُورِهَا مَعْرُوفٌ بِأَنَّهُ حِصْنٌ مَنِيعٌ. | ٣ |
4 For, look, the kings assembled themselves, they passed by together.
| هُوَذَا الْمُلُوكُ قَدِ احْتَشَدُوا وَعَبَرُوا مَعاً. | ٤ |
5 They saw it, then they were amazed. They were dismayed. They hurried away.
| رَأَوْا بَيْتَ اللهِ فَذُهِلُوا. ارْتَاعُوا وَفَرُّوا. | ٥ |
6 Trembling took hold of them there, pain, as of a woman in travail.
| هُنَاكَ اعْتَرَتْهُمْ رِعْدَةٌ فَتَوَجَّعُوا كَامْرَأَةٍ فِي مَخَاضِهَا. | ٦ |
7 With the east wind, you break the ships of Tarshish.
| تُحَطِّمُ سُفُنَ تَرْشِيشَ بِرِيحٍ شَرْقِيَّةٍ. | ٧ |
8 As we have heard, so we have seen, in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God. God will establish it forever. (Selah)
| كَمَا سَمِعْنَا رَأَيْنَا فِي مَدِينَةِ رَبِّ الْجُنُودِ، مَدِينَةِ إِلَهِنَا. حَقّاً إِنَّ اللهَ يُثَبِّتُهَا إِلَى الأَبَدِ. | ٨ |
9 We have thought about your loving kindness, God, in the midst of your temple.
| تَأَمَّلْنَا يَا اللهُ فِي رَحْمَتِكَ فِي وَسَطِ هَيْكَلِكَ. | ٩ |
10 As is your name, God, so is your praise to the farthest parts of the earth. Your right hand is full of righteousness.
| تَسْبِيحُكَ يَا اللهُ مِثْلُ اسْمِكَ يَبْلُغُ أَقَاصِي الأَرْضِ. يَمِينُكَ مَلآنَةٌ صَلاحاً. | ١٠ |
11 Let Mount Zion be glad. Let the daughters of Judah rejoice, Because of your judgments.
| لِيَفْرَحْ جَبَلُ صِهْيَوْنَ وَلْتَبْتَهِجْ بَنَاتُ يَهُوذَا مِنْ أَجْلِ أَحْكَامِ قَضَائِكَ. | ١١ |
12 Walk about Zion, and go around her. Number its towers.
| جُولُوا فِي صِهْيَوْنَ وَدُورُوا حَوْلَهَا. عُدُّوا أَبْرَاجَهَا. | ١٢ |
13 Consider her defenses. Consider her palaces, that you may tell it to the next generation.
| تَفَرَّسُوا فِي مَتَارِيسِهَا وَتَأَمَّلُوا قُصُورَهَا لِتُخْبِرُوا بِها الأَجْيَالَ الْقَادِمَةَ. | ١٣ |
14 For this God is our God forever and ever. He will guide us forever.
| لأَنَّ اللهَ هَذَا هُوَ إِلَهُنَا إِلَى الدَّهْرِ وَالأَبَدِ، وَهُوَ هَادِينَا حَتَّى الْمَوْتِ. | ١٤ |
