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 Yahweh and greatly to be praised, in the city of our God on his holy mountain.

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

Beautiful in elevation, 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 has made himself known in her palaces as a refuge.

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

For, see, the kings assembled themselves; they passed by together.

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

They saw it, then they were amazed; they were dismayed, and they hurried away.

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

Trembling took hold of them there, pain as when a woman is in labor.

7 seperti kapal yang hancur dalam topan.

With the east wind you break the 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 have we seen in the city of Yahweh of hosts, in the city of our God; God will establish it forever. (Selah)

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

We have thought about your covenant faithfulness, God, in the middle of your temple.

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

As your name is, God, so is your praise to the ends of the earth; your right hand is full of righteousness.

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

Let Mount Zion be glad, let the daughters of Judah rejoice because of your righteous decrees.

12 Kelilingilah Sion, putarilah dia, dan hitunglah menaranya.

Walk around Mount Zion, go round about her; count her towers,

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

notice well her walls, and look at her palaces so that you may tell it to the next generation.

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

For this God is our God forever and ever; he will be our guide to death.
