Psalm 48

1 [Psalm lun Tulik natul Korah] LEUM GOD El fulat, ac fal in arulana kaksakinyuk El In siti sin God lasr, fineol mutal sel.

For the music director. A psalm of the sons of Korah. The Lord is supreme! He deserves praise in the city of our God on his holy mountain.

2 Zion, eol sin God, el arulana fulat ac kato; Siti sin tokosra fulat ase engan nu fin faclu nufon.

Mount Zion is high and beautiful, bringing happiness to all the earth; on the northern side is the city of the great King.

3 God El akkalemye lah oasr nien moul misla yorol In pot ku lun siti sac.

God himself is in the city's fortresses; he is recognized as its defender.

4 Tokosra puspis, wi mwet mweun lalos, elos fahsreni Ac tuku in mweuni Fineol Zion.

Look at what happened when foreign kings joined forces and came to attack the city.

5 Tusruktu ke elos liye Fineol Zion, elos arulana fwefela; Elos sangeng ac kaingla.

As soon as they saw it they were astonished and ran away terrified.

6 Elos sangeng ac arulana tuninfongla ingo, Oana sie mutan su akola in isus,

They shook all over, and were in agonizing pain like a woman giving birth,

7 Ku oana oak palang su musalla ke sie paka lulap.

just as the strong east wind wrecks the ships from Tarshish.

8 Kut lohng tari ke ma God El orala Ac inge kut liye In siti lun God lasr, LEUM GOD Kulana; El ac fah karingin siti sac nwe tok ma pahtpat.

Just as we had heard, but now we have seen the city of the Lord Almighty. This is the city of our God; he makes it secure forever. (Selah)

9 Ke kut muta in Tempul lom, O God, Kut nunku ke lungse kawil lom.

God, we recall your trustworthy love as we worship in the Temple.

10 Mwet uh kaksakin kom in acn nukewa, Ac pungom fahsrelik nu fin faclu nufon. Kom kol mwet uh ke suwoswos.

As is fitting for your reputation, God, praises to you stretch all around the world. What you do is always right!

11 Lela mwet in Zion in enganak! Tuh kom oru nununku suwohs; Lela in oasr engan in siti nukewa in Judah!

Let the people of Mount Zion be glad; let the people of Judah celebrate because your judgments are always fair!

12 Mwet lun God, kowos fahsr rauni acn Zion ac oek tower fulat we;

Go and take a look at Zion. Count the towers as you walk around.

13 Liye kalkal we, ac lohang nu ke pot ku we, Tuh kowos in mau ku in srumun nu sin fwil tok ouinge:

Inspect the fortifications. Examine the citadels, so you can describe everything to the next generation, telling them:

14 “God se inge El God lasr nu tok ma pahtpat; El ac fah kol kut in pacl nukewa fahsru.”

“This is who our God is. He is our God forever and ever. He himself will lead us until the very end.”
