< Psalmi 48 >
1 Velik je Gospod i slavan veoma u gradu Boga našega, na svetoj gori svojoj.
“A song and psalm by the sons of Korach.” Great is the Lord, and highly praised in the city of our God, [in] his holy mountain.
2 Prekrasna je visina, utjeha svoj zemlji gora Sion, na sjevernoj strani njezinoj grad cara velikoga.
A beautiful district, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, the farthest north, the city of the great King.
3 Bog u dvorima njegovijem zna se da je braniè.
God is become known in her palaces as a defence.
4 Jer, gle, carevi se zemaljski sabraše, ali proðoše svi.
For, lo, the kings were assembled, they are passed away together.
5 Vidješe i zaèudiše se, prepadoše se i pobjegoše.
They indeed saw—[and] so they were astonished; they were terrified, they were confounded.
6 Trepet obuze ih ondje, muèiše se kao porodilja.
Trembling seized on them there, pain, as on a woman in travail.
7 Vjetrom istoènim razbio si korablje Tarsiske.
With the east wind thou breakest the ships of Tharshish.
8 Što slušamo to i vidimo u gradu Gospoda nad vojskama, u gradu Boga našega. Bog ga utvrdi dovijeka.
As we have heard, so have we seen [it] in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. (Selah)
9 Kazujemo, Bože, milost tvoju usred crkve tvoje.
We have reflected on thy kindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple.
10 Kao što je ime tvoje, Bože, tako je i hvala tvoja na krajevima zemaljskim; pravde je puna desnica tvoja.
As thy name is, O God, so is thy praise over the ends of the earth: of righteousness is thy right hand full.
11 Nek se veseli gora Sion, nek se raduju kæeri Judejske sudova radi tvojijeh.
Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments.
12 Poðite oko Siona i obiðite ga, izbrojte kule njegove;
Compass Zion about, and walk round about her; number her towers.
13 Pogledajte bedeme njegove, razmotrite dvorove njegove, da pripovijedate mlaðim naraštajima.
Direct your mind to her outer wall, mark carefully her palaces: in order that ye may tell it to the latest generation.
14 Jer je ovaj Bog naš Bog uvijek i dovijeka, on æe biti voð naš dovijeka.
For this One is God, our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.
