< Salmos 48 >
1 Grande es Jehová, y digno de ser en grande manera alabado en la ciudad de nuestro Dios, en el monte de su santuario.
A Song. A Psalm. Of the sons of Korah. Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised, in the town of our God, in his holy mountain.
2 De hermosa situación, el gozo de toda la tierra es el monte de Sión: los lados del aquilón, la ciudad del gran Rey.
Beautiful in its high position, the joy of all the earth, is the mountain of Zion, the mountain of God, the town of the great King.
3 Dios en sus palacios es conocido por refugio.
In its buildings God is seen to be a high tower.
4 Porque, he aquí, los reyes de la tierra fueron congregados; pasaron todos.
For see! the kings came together by agreement, they were joined together.
5 Ellos vieron, maravilláronse grandemente, fueron asombrados: diéronse priesa.
They saw it, and so were full of wonder; they were troubled, and went quickly away in fear.
6 Temblor los tomó allí; dolor, como a mujer que pare.
Shaking came on them and pain, as on a woman in childbirth.
7 Con viento solano quiebras las naves de Társis.
By you the ships of Tarshish are broken as by an east wind.
8 Como lo oímos, así lo vimos en la ciudad de Jehová de los ejércitos, en la ciudad de nuestro Dios: Dios la afirmará para siempre. (Selah)

9 Esperamos, o! Dios, tu misericordia en medio de tu templo.
Our thoughts were of your mercy, O God, while we were in your Temple.
10 Conforme a tu nombre, o! Dios, así es tu loor hasta los fines de la tierra: de justicia está llena tu diestra.
As your name is, O God, so is your praise to the ends of the earth; your right hand is full of righteousness.
11 Alegrarse ha el monte de Sión: regocijarse han las hijas de Judá por tus juicios.
Let there be joy in the mountain of Zion, and let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of your wise decisions.
12 Rodeád a Sión, y cercádla: contád sus torres.
