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.

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 the whole earth, is Mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the 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 has made himself known in her palaces as a refuge.

上帝在其宮中， 自顯為避難所。

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

看哪，眾王會合， 一同經過。

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

他們見了這城就驚奇喪膽， 急忙逃跑。

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

他們在那裏被戰兢疼痛抓住， 好像產難的婦人一樣。

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

上帝啊，你用東風打破他施的船隻。

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)

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 about your covenant faithfulness, God, in the middle of your temple.

上帝啊，我們在你的殿中想念你的慈愛。

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

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 be glad, let the daughters of Judah rejoice because of your righteous decrees.

因你的判斷，錫安山應當歡喜， 猶大的城邑應當快樂。

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

你們當周遊錫安， 四圍旋繞，數點城樓，

13 notice well her walls, and look at her palaces so that you may tell it to the next 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 forever and ever; he will be our guide to 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。
