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.

コラの子のうたなり讃美なり ヱホバは大なり われらの神の都そのきよき山のうへにて甚くほめたたへられたまふべし

2 Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion, in the far north, the city of the great King.

シオンの山はきたの端たかくしてうるはしく喜悦を地にあまねくあたふ ここは大なる王のみやこなり

3 God has shown himself in her citadels as a refuge.

そのもろもろの殿のうちに神はおのれをたかき櫓としてあらはしたまへり

4 For, look, the kings assembled themselves, they passed by together.

みよ王等はつどひあつまりて偕にすぎゆきぬ

5 They saw it, then they were amazed. They were dismayed. They hurried away.

かれらは都をみてあやしみ且おそれて忽ちのがれされり

6 Trembling took hold of them there, pain, as of a woman in travail.

戦慄はかれらにのぞみ その苦痛は子をうまんとする婦のごとし

7 With the east wind, you break the ships of Tarshish.

なんぢは東風をおこしてタルシシの舟をやぶりたまふ

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)

曩にわれらが聞しごとく今われらは萬車のヱホバの都われらの神のみやこにて之をみることをえたり 神はこの都をとこしへまで固くしたまはん (セラ)

9 We have thought about your loving kindness, God, in the midst of your temple.

神よ我らはなんぢの宮のうちにて仁慈をおもへり

10 As is your name, God, so is your praise to the farthest parts of the earth. Your right hand is full of righteousness.

神よなんぢの譽はその名のごとく地の極にまでおよべり なんぢの右手はただしきにて充り

11 Let Mount Zion be glad. Let the daughters of Judah rejoice, Because of your judgments.

なんぢのもろもろの審判によりてシオンの山はよろこびユダの女輩はたのしむべし

12 Walk about Zion, and go around her. Number its towers.

13 Consider her defenses. Consider her palaces, that you may tell it to the next generation.

シオンの周圍をありき徧くめぐりてその櫓をかぞへよ その石垣に目をとめよ そのもろもろの殿をみよ なんぢらこれを後代にかたりつたへんが爲なり

14 For this God is our God forever and ever. He will guide us forever.

そはこの神はいや遠長にわれらの神にましましてわれらを死るまでみちびきたまはん
