< Psalms 48 >
1 A song. A psalm of the Korahites. Great is the Lord and worthy all praise in the city of our God. His holy mountain,
Velik je Gospod i slavan veoma u gradu Boga našega, na svetoj gori svojoj.
2 that rises so fair, is the joy of all the world. Like the mount of the gods is Mount Zion, the city of the great king.
Prekrasna je visina, utjeha svoj zemlji gora Sion, na sjevernoj strani njezinoj grad cara velikoga.
3 Once God made himself known as the defence of her palaces.
Bog u dvorima njegovijem zna se da je braniè.
4 For see! A concert of kings passed over the frontier together.
Jer, gle, carevi se zemaljski sabraše, ali proðoše svi.
5 But one glance, and they were astounded; they hastened away in dismay.
Vidješe i zaèudiše se, prepadoše se i pobjegoše.
6 Trembling took hold of them there, like the pains of a woman in labour.
Trepet obuze ih ondje, muèiše se kao porodilja.
7 They were shattered, as east wind shatters the giant ships in pieces.
Vjetrom istoènim razbio si korablje Tarsiske.
8 What we heard, we now have seen in the city of the Lord of hosts, the city of our God. God will uphold her forever. (Selah)
Što slušamo to i vidimo u gradu Gospoda nad vojskama, u gradu Boga našega. Bog ga utvrdi dovijeka.
9 We think, O God, of your love, in the midst of your temple.
Kazujemo, Bože, milost tvoju usred crkve tvoje.
10 Your fame, O God, like your name, shall extend to the ends of the earth. Victory fills your hand.
Kao što je ime tvoje, Bože, tako je i hvala tvoja na krajevima zemaljskim; pravde je puna desnica tvoja.
11 Let mount Zion be glad; let the daughters of Judah rejoice because of your judgments.
Nek se veseli gora Sion, nek se raduju kæeri Judejske sudova radi tvojijeh.
12 Walk about Zion, go round her; count her towers.
Poðite oko Siona i obiðite ga, izbrojte kule njegove;
13 Set your mind on her ramparts, consider her palaces; that you tell to the next generation
Pogledajte bedeme njegove, razmotrite dvorove njegove, da pripovijedate mlaðim naraštajima.
14 That such is God, our God he it is who shall guide us for ever and ever.
Jer je ovaj Bog naš Bog uvijek i dovijeka, on æe biti voð naš dovijeka.
