Psalmi 48

1 Velik je Gospod in silno bodi hvaljen v mestu našega Boga, na gori njegove svetosti.

A Canticle Psalm. To the sons of Korah, on the second Sabbath. The Lord is great and exceedingly praiseworthy, in the city of our God, on his holy mountain.

2 Lepa zaradi lege, radost celotne zemlje, je gora Sion na straneh severa, mesto vélikega Kralja.

Mount Zion is being founded with the exultation of the whole earth, on the north side, the city of the great king.

3 Bog je v njenih palačah razpoznan za zatočišče.

In her houses, God will be known, since he will support her.

4 Kajti, glej, kralji so bili zbrani, skupaj so šli mimo.

For behold, the kings of the earth have been gathered together; they have convened as one.

5 Videli so to in tako so se čudili; bili so vznemirjeni in odhiteli.

Such did they see, and they were astonished: they were disturbed, they were moved.

6 Tam sta jih prevzela strah in bolečina kakor žensko v porodnih mukah.

Trembling took hold of them. In that place, their pains were that of a woman in labor.

7 Z vzhodnikom lomiš ladje iz Taršíša.

With a vehement spirit, you will crush the ships of Tarshish.

8 Kakor smo slišali, tako smo videli v mestu Gospoda nad bojevniki, v mestu svojega Boga. Bog ga bo utrdil na veke. (Sela)

As we have heard, so we have seen, in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God. God has founded it in eternity.

9 Premišljevali smo o tvoji ljubeči skrbnosti, oh Bog, v sredi tvojega templja.

We have received your mercy, O God, in the midst of your temple.

10 Glede na tvoje ime, oh Bog, taka je tvoja hvala do koncev zemlje. Tvoja desnica je polna pravičnosti.

According to your name, O God, so does your praise reach to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is full of justice.

11 Naj se gora Sion veseli, naj bodo Judove hčere radostne zaradi tvojih sodb.

Let mount Zion rejoice, and let the daughters of Judah exult, because of your judgments, O Lord.

12 Hodite okoli Siona in ga obhodite, štejte njegove stolpe.

Encircle Zion and embrace her. Discourse in her towers.

13 Dobro označite njegove branike, opazujte njegove palače, da boste to lahko pripovedovali naslednjemu rodu.

Set your hearts on her virtue. And distribute her houses, so that you may discourse of it in another generation.

14 Kajti ta Bog je naš Bog na veke vekov. On bo naš vodnik celó do smrti.

For this is God, our God, in eternity and forever and ever. He will rule us forever.
