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.
Nyanyian. Mazmur bani Korah. Besarlah TUHAN dan sangat terpuji di kota Allah kita!
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.
Gunung-Nya yang kudus, yang menjulang permai, adalah kegirangan bagi seluruh bumi; gunung Sion itu, jauh di sebelah utara, kota Raja Besar.
3 God has made himself known in her palaces as a refuge.
Dalam puri-purinya Allah memperkenalkan diri-Nya sebagai benteng.
4 For, see, the kings assembled themselves; they passed by together.
Sebab lihat, raja-raja datang berkumpul, mereka bersama-sama berjalan maju;
5 They saw it, then they were amazed; they were dismayed, and they hurried away.
demi mereka melihatnya, mereka tercengang-cengang, terkejut, lalu lari kebingungan.
6 Trembling took hold of them there, pain as when a woman is in labor.
Kegentaran menimpa mereka di sana; mereka kesakitan seperti perempuan yang hendak melahirkan.
7 With the east wind you break the ships of Tarshish.
Dengan angin timur Engkau memecahkan kapal-kapal Tarsis.
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)
Seperti yang telah kita dengar, demikianlah juga kita lihat, di kota TUHAN semesta alam, di kota Allah kita; Allah menegakkannya untuk selama-lamanya. (Sela)
9 We have thought about your covenant faithfulness, God, in the middle of your temple.
Kami mengingat, ya Allah, kasih setia-Mu di dalam bait-Mu.
10 As your name is, God, so is your praise to the ends of the earth; your right hand is full of righteousness.
Seperti nama-Mu, ya Allah, demikianlah kemasyhuran-Mu sampai ke ujung bumi; tangan kanan-Mu penuh dengan keadilan.
11 Let Mount Zion be glad, let the daughters of Judah rejoice because of your righteous decrees.
Biarlah gunung Sion bersukacita; biarlah anak-anak perempuan Yehuda bersorak-sorak oleh karena penghukuman-Mu!
12 Walk around Mount Zion, go round about her; count her towers,
Kelilingilah Sion dan edarilah dia, hitunglah menaranya,
13 notice well her walls, and look at her palaces so that you may tell it to the next generation.
perhatikanlah temboknya, jalanilah puri-purinya, supaya kamu dapat menceriterakannya kepada angkatan yang kemudian:
14 For this God is our God forever and ever; he will be our guide to death.
Sesungguhnya inilah Allah, Allah kitalah Dia seterusnya dan untuk selamanya! Dialah yang memimpin kita!
