< Psalms 48 >

1 A Song [and] Psalm for the sons of Korah. Great [is] the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, [in] the mountain of his holiness.
canticum psalmi filiis Core secunda sabbati magnus Dominus et laudabilis nimis in civitate Dei nostri in monte sancto eius
2 Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, [is] mount Zion, [on] the sides of the north, the city of the great King.
fundatur exultatione universae terrae montes Sion latera aquilonis civitas regis magni
3 God is known in her palaces for a refuge.
Deus in domibus eius cognoscitur cum suscipiet eam
4 For lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together.
quoniam ecce reges congregati sunt convenerunt in unum
5 They saw [it], [and] so they wondered; they were troubled, [and] hasted away.
ipsi videntes sic admirati sunt conturbati sunt commoti sunt
6 Fear took hold upon them there, [and] pain, as of a woman in travail.
tremor adprehendit eos ibi dolores ut parturientis
7 Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.
in spiritu vehementi conteres naves Tharsis
8 As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. (Selah)
sicut audivimus sic vidimus in civitate Domini virtutum in civitate Dei nostri Deus fundavit eam in aeternum diapsalma
9 We have thought of thy loving-kindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple.
suscepimus Deus misericordiam tuam in medio templi tui
10 According to thy name, O God, so [is] thy praise to the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.
secundum nomen tuum Deus sic et laus tua in fines terrae iustitia plena est dextera tua
11 Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments.
laetetur mons Sion exultent filiae Iudaeae propter iudicia tua Domine
12 Walk about Zion, and go round her: number her towers.
circumdate Sion et conplectimini eam narrate in turribus eius
13 Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell [it] to the generation following.
ponite corda vestra in virtute eius et distribuite domus eius ut enarretis in progeniem alteram
14 For this God [is] our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide [even] to death.
quoniam hic est Deus Deus noster in aeternum et in saeculum saeculi ipse reget nos in saecula
