Mazmur 48

1 Mazmur kaum Korah. Sungguh agunglah TUHAN dan sangat terpuji di kota Allah kita, di bukit yang suci.

GREAT is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness.

2 Sion, bukit Allah menjulang permai kota Raja Agung menggirangkan seluruh bumi.

Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.

3 Allah tinggal di dalam puri-purinya, ternyata Ia sendirilah pelindung-Nya.

God is known in her palaces for a refuge.

4 Lihatlah, raja-raja berkumpul; mereka datang hendak menyerbu.

For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together.

5 Tapi melihat bukit itu, mereka tercengang; mereka gempar dan lari kebingungan.

They saw it, and so they marvelled; they were troubled, and hasted away.

6 Di sana mereka gemetar ketakutan dan kesakitan, seperti wanita yang mau melahirkan,

Fear took hold upon them there, and pain, as of a woman in travail.

7 seperti kapal yang hancur dalam topan.

Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.

8 Seperti yang kita dengar, kini kita melihatnya, di Kota TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa. Kota itu adalah Kota Allah kita, Ia membelanya untuk selama-lamanya.

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)

9 Di dalam Rumah-Mu kami merenungkan kasih-Mu, ya Allah.

We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple.

10 Nama-Mu termasyhur dan dipuji di seluruh bumi, Engkau memerintah dengan adil.

According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.

11 Biarlah rakyat Sion dan Yehuda bersorak gembira, karena Engkau menghukum lawan mereka.

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

12 Kelilingilah Sion, putarilah dia, dan hitunglah menaranya.

Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers thereof.

13 Perhatikan temboknya, periksalah bentengnya, supaya kamu dapat menceritakan kepada keturunanmu;

Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following.

14 "Dialah Allah, Allah kita untuk selama-lamanya, Dia akan memimpin kita sampai kekal."

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