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.

canticum psalmi filiis Core secunda sabbati magnus Dominus et laudabilis nimis in civitate Dei nostri in monte sancto eius

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

fundatur exultatione universae terrae montes Sion latera aquilonis civitas regis magni

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

Deus in domibus eius cognoscitur cum suscipiet eam

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

quoniam ecce reges congregati sunt convenerunt in unum

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

ipsi videntes sic admirati sunt conturbati sunt commoti sunt

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

tremor adprehendit eos ibi dolores ut parturientis

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

in spiritu vehementi conteres naves Tharsis

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)

sicut audivimus sic vidimus in civitate Domini virtutum in civitate Dei nostri Deus fundavit eam in aeternum diapsalma

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

suscepimus Deus misericordiam tuam in medio templi tui

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

secundum nomen tuum Deus sic et laus tua in fines terrae iustitia plena est dextera tua

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

laetetur mons Sion exultent filiae Iudaeae propter iudicia tua Domine

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

circumdate Sion et conplectimini eam narrate in turribus eius

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

ponite corda vestra in virtute eius et distribuite domus eius ut enarretis in progeniem alteram

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

quoniam hic est Deus Deus noster in aeternum et in saeculum saeculi ipse reget nos in saecula
