< Mazmur 48 >

1 Nyanyian. Mazmur bani Korah. Besarlah TUHAN dan sangat terpuji di kota Allah kita!
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 Gunung-Nya yang kudus, yang menjulang permai, adalah kegirangan bagi seluruh bumi; gunung Sion itu, jauh di sebelah utara, kota Raja Besar.
Beautiful [for] elevation, A joy of all the land, [is] Mount Zion, The sides of the north, the city of [the] great King.
3 Dalam puri-purinya Allah memperkenalkan diri-Nya sebagai benteng.
God is known for a tower in her high places.
4 Sebab lihat, raja-raja datang berkumpul, mereka bersama-sama berjalan maju;
For behold, the kings met, they passed by together,
5 demi mereka melihatnya, mereka tercengang-cengang, terkejut, lalu lari kebingungan.
They have seen—so they have marveled, They have been troubled, they were hurried away.
6 Kegentaran menimpa mereka di sana; mereka kesakitan seperti perempuan yang hendak melahirkan.
Trembling has seized them there, Pain, as of a travailing woman.
7 Dengan angin timur Engkau memecahkan kapal-kapal Tarsis.
By an east wind You shatter ships of Tarshish.
8 Seperti yang telah kita dengar, demikianlah juga kita lihat, di kota TUHAN semesta alam, di kota Allah kita; Allah menegakkannya untuk selama-lamanya. (Sela)
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 Kami mengingat, ya Allah, kasih setia-Mu di dalam bait-Mu.
We have thought, O God, of Your kindness, In the midst of Your temple,
10 Seperti nama-Mu, ya Allah, demikianlah kemasyhuran-Mu sampai ke ujung bumi; tangan kanan-Mu penuh dengan keadilan.
As [is] Your Name, O God, so [is] Your praise, Over the ends of the earth, Righteousness has filled Your right hand.
11 Biarlah gunung Sion bersukacita; biarlah anak-anak perempuan Yehuda bersorak-sorak oleh karena penghukuman-Mu!
Mount Zion rejoices, The daughters of Judah are joyful, For the sake of Your judgments.
12 Kelilingilah Sion dan edarilah dia, hitunglah menaranya,
Surround Zion, and go around her, count her towers,
13 perhatikanlah temboknya, jalanilah puri-purinya, supaya kamu dapat menceriterakannya kepada angkatan yang kemudian:
Set your heart to her bulwark, Consider her high places, So that you recount to a later generation,
14 Sesungguhnya inilah Allah, Allah kitalah Dia seterusnya dan untuk selamanya! Dialah yang memimpin kita!
That this God [is] our God—For all time and forever, He leads us over death!
