Psalms 48

1 A Melodious Song. For the Sons of Korah. Great is Yahweh, and worthy to be mightily praised, In the city of our God, His holy mountain.

可拉後裔的詩歌。 耶和華本為大！ 在我們上帝的城中， 在他的聖山上，該受大讚美。

2 Beautiful in elevation, the joy of all the land, Is Mount Zion, in the recesses of the north, —The city of a great king.

錫安山－大君王的城， 在北面居高華美， 為全地所喜悅。

3 God, in her palaces, is to be known as a high tower.

上帝在其宮中， 自顯為避難所。

4 For lo! Kings—Met as appointed, Passed by together;

看哪，眾王會合， 一同經過。

5 They themselves, saw, So, were they amazed, Dismayed—they hurried way!

他們見了這城就驚奇喪膽， 急忙逃跑。

6 Trembling, seized them, there, Pangs. like hers who is in travail.

他們在那裏被戰兢疼痛抓住， 好像產難的婦人一樣。

7 With an east wind, wilt thou shatter the ships of Tarshish.

上帝啊，你用東風打破他施的船隻。

8 Just as we have heard, So, have we seen, In the city of Yahweh of hosts, In the city of our God, God himself, will establish her, unto times age-abiding. (Selah)

我們在萬軍之耶和華的城中 －就是我們上帝的城中－所看見的， 正如我們所聽見的。 上帝必堅立這城，直到永遠。 (細拉)

9 We have thought, O God, upon thy lovingkindness, In the midst of thy temple:

上帝啊，我們在你的殿中想念你的慈愛。

10 According to thy Name, O God, So, be thy praise, unto the ends of the earth, With righteousness, is, thy right hand, filled.

上帝啊，你受的讚美正與你的名相稱，直到地極！ 你的右手滿了公義。

11 Let Mount Zion rejoice, Let the daughters of Judah exult, Because of thy judgments.

因你的判斷，錫安山應當歡喜， 猶大的城邑應當快樂。

12 Go round Zion, and compass her about, Reckon up her towers;

你們當周遊錫安， 四圍旋繞，數點城樓，

13 Apply your mind to her rampart, Pass between her palaces, That ye may recount them to an after generation;

細看她的外郭， 察看她的宮殿， 為要傳說到後代。

14 For, this God, is our God, to times age-abiding and beyond, He himself, will conduct us till death.

因為這上帝永永遠遠為我們的上帝； 他必作我們引路的，直到死時。
