< Psalms 48 >

1 [A Song. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.] Great is YHWH, and greatly to be praised, in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.
تَسْبِيحَةٌ. مَزْمُورٌ لِبَنِي قُورَحَ عَظِيمٌ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ وَحَمِيدٌ جِدًّا فِي مَدِينَةِ إِلَهِنَا، جَبَلِ قُدْسِهِ.١
2 Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion, in the far north, the city of the great King.
جَمِيلُ ٱلِٱرْتِفَاعِ، فَرَحُ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ، جَبَلُ صِهْيَوْنَ. فَرَحُ أَقَاصِي ٱلشِّمَالِ، مَدِينَةُ ٱلْمَلِكِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ.٢
3 God has shown himself in her citadels as a refuge.
ٱللهُ فِي قُصُورِهَا يُعْرَفُ مَلْجَأً.٣
4 For, look, the kings assembled themselves, they passed by together.
لِأَنَّهُ هُوَذَا ٱلْمُلُوكُ ٱجْتَمَعُوا. مَضَوْا جَمِيعًا.٤
5 They saw it, then they were amazed. They were dismayed. They hurried away.
لَمَّا رَأَوْا بُهِتُوا، ٱرْتَاعُوا، فَرُّوا.٥
6 Trembling took hold of them there, pain, as of a woman in travail.
أَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلرِّعْدَةُ هُنَاكَ، وَٱلْمَخَاضُ كَوَالِدَةٍ.٦
7 With the east wind, you break the ships of Tarshish.
بِرِيحٍ شَرْقِيَّةٍ تَكْسِرُ سُفُنَ تَرْشِيشَ.٧
8 As we have heard, so we have seen, in the city of YHWH of hosts, in the city of our God. God will establish it forever. (Selah)
كَمَا سَمِعْنَا هَكَذَا رَأَيْنَا فِي مَدِينَةِ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ، فِي مَدِينَةِ إِلَهِنَا. ٱللهُ يُثَبِّتُهَا إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. سِلَاهْ.٨
9 We have thought about your loving kindness, God, in the midst of your temple.
ذَكَرْنَا يَا ٱللهُ رَحْمَتَكَ 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.
نَظِيرُ ٱسْمِكَ يَا ٱللهُ تَسْبِيحُكَ إِلَى أَقَاصِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. يَمِينُكَ مَلآنَةٌ بِرًّا.١٠
11 Let Mount Zion be glad. Let the daughters of Judah rejoice, Because of your judgments.
يَفْرَحُ جَبَلُ صِهْيَوْنَ، تَبْتَهِجُ بَنَاتُ يَهُوذَا مِنْ أَجْلِ أَحْكَامِكَ.١١
12 Walk about Zion, and go around her. Number its towers.
طُوفُوا بِصِهْيَوْنَ، وَدُورُوا حَوْلَهَا. عُدُّوا أَبْرَاجَهَا.١٢
13 Consider her defenses. Consider her palaces, that you may tell it to the next generation.
ضَعُوا قُلُوبَكُمْ عَلَى مَتَارِسِهَا. تَأَمَّلُوا قُصُورَهَا لِكَيْ تُحَدِّثُوا بِهَا جِيلًا آخَرَ.١٣
14 For this God is our God forever and ever. He will guide us forever.
لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ هَذَا هُوَ إِلَهُنَا إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ وَٱلْأَبَدِ. هُوَ يَهْدِينَا حَتَّى إِلَى ٱلْمَوْتِ.١٤
