< Psalms 48 >

1 “A psalm of the sons of Korah.” Great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised In the city of our God, upon his holy mountain.
Pjesma. Psalam. Sinova Korahovih. Velik je Jahve, hvale predostojan u gradu Boga našega.
2 Beautiful in its elevation is Mount Zion, The joy of the whole earth; The joy of the farthest North is the city of the great king;
Sveto brdo njegovo, brijeg veličanstven, radost je zemlji svoj. Gora Sion, na krajnjem sjeveru, grad je Kralja velikog.
3 In her palaces God is known as a refuge.
Bog u kulama njegovim jakom se pokaza utvrdom.
4 For, lo! kings were assembled against it; They passed away together.
Jer gle, složiše se kraljevi, navališe zajedno.
5 As soon as they saw, they were astonished; They were confounded, and hasted away.
Čim vidješe, zapanjiše se i zbunjeni u bijeg nagnuše.
6 There terror seized upon them, —Pain, as of a woman in travail;
Ondje ih trepet obuze kao muka porodilje,
7 As when the east wind breaketh in pieces The ships of Tarshish.
kao kad vjetar istočni razbija brodove taršiške.
8 As we have heard, so have we seen In the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God; God will establish it for ever. (Pause)
Što smo čuli, sada vidimo: grad Jahve nad Vojskama, grad Boga našega - Bog ga utvrdi dovijeka.
9 We think of thy loving-kindness, O God! In the midst of thy temple!
Spominjemo se, Bože, tvoje dobrote usred Hrama tvojega.
10 As thy name, O God! so thy praise, extendeth to the ends of the earth; Thy right hand is full of righteousness.
Kao ime tvoje, Bože, tako i slava tvoja do nakraj zemlje doseže. Puna je pravde desnica tvoja; neka se raduje brdo sionsko!
11 Mount Zion rejoiceth, The daughters of Judah exult, On account of thy righteous judgments.
Neka kliču gradovi Judini zbog tvojih sudova!
12 Go round about Zion; number her towers;
Obiđite Sion i prođite njime, prebrojite kule njegove!
13 Mark well her bulwarks; count her palaces; That ye may tell it to the next generation!
Pogledajte dobro bedeme njegove, promotrite mu potanko dvorove: da biste kazivali budućem koljenu:
14 For this God is our God for ever and ever; He will be our guide unto death.
“Takav je Bog, Bog naš zasvagda i dovijeka! On neka nas vodi!”
