اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 48

١ 1 تَسْبِيحَةٌ. مَزْمُورٌ لِبَنِي قُورَحَ عَظِيمٌ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ وَحَمِيدٌ جِدًّا فِي مَدِينَةِ إِلَهِنَا، جَبَلِ قُدْسِهِ.

Great is Adonai, and greatly to be praised, in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.

٢ 2 جَمِيلُ ٱلِٱرْتِفَاعِ، فَرَحُ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ، جَبَلُ صِهْيَوْنَ. فَرَحُ أَقَاصِي ٱلشِّمَالِ، مَدِينَةُ ٱلْمَلِكِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ.

Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking], on the north sides, the city of the great King.

٣ 3 ٱللهُ فِي قُصُورِهَا يُعْرَفُ مَلْجَأً.

In its citadels God has revealed himself as a strong defense.

٤ 4 لِأَنَّهُ هُوَذَا ٱلْمُلُوكُ ٱجْتَمَعُوا. مَضَوْا جَمِيعًا.

For, behold, the kings assembled themselves, they passed by together.

٥ 5 لَمَّا رَأَوْا بُهِتُوا، ٱرْتَاعُوا، فَرُّوا.

They saw it, then they were amazed. They were dismayed. They hurried away.

٦ 6 أَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلرِّعْدَةُ هُنَاكَ، وَٱلْمَخَاضُ كَوَالِدَةٍ.

Trembling took hold of them there, pain, as of a woman in travail.

٧ 7 بِرِيحٍ شَرْقِيَّةٍ تَكْسِرُ سُفُنَ تَرْشِيشَ.

With the east wind, you break the ships of Tarshish.

٨ 8 كَمَا سَمِعْنَا هَكَذَا رَأَيْنَا فِي مَدِينَةِ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ، فِي مَدِينَةِ إِلَهِنَا. ٱللهُ يُثَبِّتُهَا إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. سِلَاهْ.

As we have sh'ma ·heard obeyed·, so we have seen, in the city of Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies], in the city of our God. God will establish it forever. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

٩ 9 ذَكَرْنَا يَا ٱللهُ رَحْمَتَكَ فِي وَسَطِ هَيْكَلِكَ.

We have thought about your cheshed ·loving-kindness·, God, in the middle of your temple.

١٠ 10 نَظِيرُ ٱسْمِكَ يَا ٱللهُ تَسْبِيحُكَ إِلَى أَقَاصِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. يَمِينُكَ مَلآنَةٌ بِرًّا.

As is your name, God, so is your tehilah ·praise song· to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is full of righteousness.

١١ 11 يَفْرَحُ جَبَلُ صِهْيَوْنَ، تَبْتَهِجُ بَنَاتُ يَهُوذَا مِنْ أَجْلِ أَحْكَامِكَ.

Let Mount Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking] be glad! Let the daughters of Judah [Praised] rejoice, Because of your judgments.

١٢ 12 طُوفُوا بِصِهْيَوْنَ، وَدُورُوا حَوْلَهَا. عُدُّوا أَبْرَاجَهَا.

Walk about Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking], and go around her. Number its towers.

١٣ 13 ضَعُوا قُلُوبَكُمْ عَلَى مَتَارِسِهَا. تَأَمَّلُوا قُصُورَهَا لِكَيْ تُحَدِّثُوا بِهَا جِيلًا آخَرَ.

Mark well her bulwarks. Consider her palaces, that you may tell it to the next generation.

١٤ 14 لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ هَذَا هُوَ إِلَهُنَا إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ وَٱلْأَبَدِ. هُوَ يَهْدِينَا حَتَّى إِلَى ٱلْمَوْتِ.

For this God is our God forever and ever. He will be our guide even to death.
