Psalms 48

1 A song; a psalm of the sons of Korah. Great is Yahweh and greatly to be praised, in the city of our God on his holy mountain.

科辣黑後裔的詩歌。 在我們天主的城池中，上主至大，應受到讚頌。

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

祂的聖山巍峨高聳，是普世的歡喜，北方中心熙雍聖山，是大王的城邑。

3 God has made himself known in her palaces as a refuge.

天主居於堡壘的中央，顯自己為穩固的保障。

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

請看，眾王紛紛相聚，他們蜂擁走向前去，

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

他們一見，驚魂喪膽，張惶失措，抱頭鼠竄。

6 Trembling took hold of them there, pain as when a woman is in labor.

他們在那裡惶懼恐怖，苦痛有如臨盆的孕婦；

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

好像塔爾史士的船隻，為強烈的東風所襲擊。

8 As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of Yahweh of hosts, in the city of our God; God will establish it forever. (Selah)

在萬軍上主的城裏，即我們天主的城堡，我們所見正如所聞：天主必使城堡永固。

9 We have thought about your covenant faithfulness, God, in the middle of your temple.

天主，我們在你的殿裏，沉思默念著你的仁慈。

10 As your name is, God, so is your praise to the ends of the earth; your right hand is full of righteousness.

天主，你的名號遠達地極，你受的讚美亦應該如此。你的右手全充滿了正義，

11 Let Mount Zion be glad, let the daughters of Judah rejoice because of your righteous decrees.

願熙雍山因你的公正而喜樂；猶大女子也要因此歡欣踴躍。

12 Walk around Mount Zion, go round about her; count her towers,

你們環繞熙雍巡遊，你們數點她的城樓，

13 notice well her walls, and look at her palaces so that you may tell it to the next generation.

觀察她的城廓，巡視她的碉堡，是為叫你們向後代子孫陳述：

14 For this God is our God forever and ever; he will be our guide to death.

天主的確是偉大的天主，也永遠是我們的天主，始終領導我們的天主。
