תהילים 48

1 שִׁיר מִזְמוֹר לִבְנֵי־קֹֽרַח׃ גָּדוֹל יְהֹוָה וּמְהֻלָּל מְאֹד בְּעִיר אֱלֹהֵינוּ הַר־קׇדְשֽׁוֹ׃

“A song and psalm by the sons of Korach.” Great is the Lord, and highly praised in the city of our God, [in] his holy mountain.

2 יְפֵה נוֹף מְשׂוֹשׂ כׇּל־הָאָרֶץ הַר־צִיּוֹן יַרְכְּתֵי צָפוֹן קִרְיַת מֶלֶךְ רָֽב׃

A beautiful district, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, the farthest north, the city of the great King.

3 אֱלֹהִים בְּאַרְמְנוֹתֶיהָ נוֹדַע לְמִשְׂגָּֽב׃

God is become known in her palaces as a defence.

4 כִּֽי־הִנֵּה הַמְּלָכִים נוֹעֲדוּ עָבְרוּ יַחְדָּֽו׃

For, lo, the kings were assembled, they are passed away together.

5 הֵמָּה רָאוּ כֵּן תָּמָהוּ נִבְהֲלוּ נֶחְפָּֽזוּ׃

They indeed saw—[and] so they were astonished; they were terrified, they were confounded.

6 רְעָדָה אֲחָזָתַם שָׁם חִיל כַּיּוֹלֵדָֽה׃

Trembling seized on them there, pain, as on a woman in travail.

7 בְּרוּחַ קָדִים תְּשַׁבֵּר אֳנִיּוֹת תַּרְשִֽׁישׁ׃

With the east wind thou breakest the ships of Tharshish.

8 כַּאֲשֶׁר שָׁמַעְנוּ ׀ כֵּן רָאִינוּ בְּעִיר־יְהֹוָה צְבָאוֹת בְּעִיר אֱלֹהֵינוּ אֱלֹהִים יְכוֹנְנֶהָ עַד־עוֹלָם סֶֽלָה׃

As we have heard, so have we seen [it] in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. (Selah)

9 דִּמִּינוּ אֱלֹהִים חַסְדֶּךָ בְּקֶרֶב הֵיכָלֶֽךָ׃

We have reflected on thy kindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple.

10 כְּשִׁמְךָ אֱלֹהִים כֵּן תְּהִלָּתְךָ עַל־קַצְוֵי־אֶרֶץ צֶדֶק מָלְאָה יְמִינֶֽךָ׃

As thy name is, O God, so is thy praise over the ends of the earth: of righteousness is thy right hand full.

11 יִשְׂמַח ׀ הַר־צִיּוֹן תָּגֵלְנָה בְּנוֹת יְהוּדָה לְמַעַן מִשְׁפָּטֶֽיךָ׃

Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments.

12 סֹבּוּ צִיּוֹן וְהַקִּיפוּהָ סִפְרוּ מִגְדָּלֶֽיהָ׃

Compass Zion about, and walk round about her; number her towers.

13 שִׁיתוּ לִבְּכֶם ׀ לְֽחֵילָהֿ פַּסְּגוּ אַרְמְנוֹתֶיהָ לְמַעַן תְּסַפְּרוּ לְדוֹר אַֽחֲרֽוֹן׃

Direct your mind to her outer wall, mark carefully her palaces: in order that ye may tell it to the latest generation.

14 כִּי זֶה ׀ אֱלֹהִים אֱלֹהֵינוּ עוֹלָם וָעֶד הוּא יְנַהֲגֵנוּ עַל־מֽוּת׃

For this One is God, our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.
