Mazmur 48

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

A SONG. A PSALM OF THE SONS OF KORAH. Great [is] YHWH, and greatly praised, In the city of our God—His holy hill.

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

Beautiful [for] elevation, A joy of all the land, [is] Mount Zion, 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 for a tower in her high places.

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

For behold, the kings met, they passed by together,

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

They have seen—so they have marveled, They have been troubled, they were hurried away.

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

Trembling has seized them there, Pain, as of a travailing woman.

7 seperti kapal yang hancur dalam topan.

By an east wind You shatter ships of Tarshish.

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 we have seen, In the city of YHWH of hosts, In the city of our God, God establishes her for all time. (Selah)

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

We have thought, O God, of Your kindness, In the midst of Your temple,

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

As [is] Your Name, O God, so [is] Your praise, Over the ends of the earth, Righteousness has filled Your right hand.

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

Mount Zion rejoices, The daughters of Judah are joyful, For the sake of Your judgments.

12 Kelilingilah Sion, putarilah dia, dan hitunglah menaranya.

Surround Zion, and go around her, count her towers,

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

Set your heart to her bulwark, Consider her high places, So that you recount to a later generation,

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

That this God [is] our God—For all time and forever, He leads us over death!
