Psalms 48
1 [A Song. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.] Great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised, in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.
En Sang, en Psalme af Koras Børn.
2 Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion, in the far north, the city of the great King.
Herren er stor og saare priselig, i vor Guds Stad, paa hans hellige Bjerg.
3 God has shown himself in her citadels as a refuge.
Zions Bjerg hæver sig smukt, er det ganske Lands Glæde, yderst imod Nord, den store Konges Stad.
4 For, look, the kings assembled themselves, they passed by together.
Gud i dens Paladser er kendt som en fast Borg.
5 They saw it, then they were amazed. They were dismayed. They hurried away.
Thi se, Kongerne havde samlet sig; de forsvandt til Hobe.
6 Trembling took hold of them there, pain, as of a woman in travail.
De saa, straks forundrede de sig; de forfærdedes, de hastede bort.
7 With the east wind, you break the ships of Tarshish.
Bævelse betog dem der, Angest som en Kvindes, der føder.
8 As we have heard, so we have seen, in the city of Jehovah of hosts, in the city of our God. God will establish it forever. (Selah)
Ved Østenvejr sønderbryder du Tharsis's Skibe.
9 We have thought about your loving kindness, God, in the midst of your temple.
Ligesom vi havde hørt, saaledes saa vi det i den Herre Zebaoths Stad, i vor Guds Stad; Gud befæster den indtil evig Tid. (Sela)
10 As is your name, God, so is your praise to the farthest parts of the earth. Your right hand is full of righteousness.
O Gud! vi tænke paa din Miskundhed midt i dit Tempel.
11 Let Mount Zion be glad. Let the daughters of Judah rejoice, Because of your judgments.
O Gud! som dit Navn er, saa er din Pris indtil Jordens Ender; din højre Haand er fuld af Retfærdighed.
12 Walk about Zion, and go around her. Number its towers.
Zions Bjerg glæder sig, Judas Døtre fryde sig for dine Dommes Skyld.
13 Consider her defenses. Consider her palaces, that you may tell it to the next generation.
Gaar omkring Zion, rundt omkring den, tæller dens Taarne!
14 For this God is our God forever and ever. He will guide us forever.
Lægger Mærke til dens Mur, betragter nøje dens Paladser, at I kunne fortælle det for den Slægt, som kommer. Thi her er Gud, vor Gud, evindelig og altid, han skal ledsage os til evige Tider.
