Psalmi 48

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

A song. A psalm of the Korahites. Great is the Lord and worthy all praise in the city of our God. His holy mountain,

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

that rises so fair, is the joy of all the world. Like the mount of the gods is Mount Zion, the city of the great king.

3 Bog je v njenih palačah razpoznan za zatočišče.

Once God made himself known as the defence of her palaces.

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

For see! A concert of kings passed over the frontier together.

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

But one glance, and they were astounded; they hastened away in dismay.

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

Trembling took hold of them there, like the pains of a woman in labor.

7 Z vzhodnikom lomiš ladje iz Taršíša.

They were shattered, as east wind shatters the giant ships in pieces.

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

What we heard, we now have seen in the city of the Lord of hosts, the city of our God. God will uphold her forever. (Selah)

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

We think, O God, of your love, 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.

Your fame, O God, like your name, shall extend to the ends of the earth. Victory fills your hand.

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

Let mount Zion be glad; let the daughters of Judah rejoice because of your judgments.

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

Walk about Zion, go round her; count her towers.

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

Set your mind on her ramparts, consider her palaces; that you tell to the next generation

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

That such is God, our God he it is who shall guide us for ever and ever.
