Psalms 48

1 For the music director. A psalm of the sons of Korah. The Lord is supreme! He deserves praise in the city of our God on his holy mountain.

可拉后裔的诗歌。 耶和华本为大！ 在我们 神的城中， 在他的圣山上，该受大赞美。

2 Mount Zion is high and beautiful, bringing happiness to all the earth; on the northern side is the city of the great King.

锡安山—大君王的城， 在北面居高华美， 为全地所喜悦。

3 God himself is in the city's fortresses; he is recognized as its defender.

神在其宫中， 自显为避难所。

4 Look at what happened when foreign kings joined forces and came to attack the city.

看哪，众王会合， 一同经过。

5 As soon as they saw it they were astonished and ran away terrified.

他们见了这城就惊奇丧胆， 急忙逃跑。

6 They shook all over, and were in agonizing pain like a woman giving birth,

他们在那里被战兢疼痛抓住， 好像产难的妇人一样。

7 just as the strong east wind wrecks the ships from Tarshish.

神啊，你用东风打破他施的船只。

8 Just as we had heard, but now we have seen the city of the Lord Almighty. This is the city of our God; he makes it secure forever. (Selah)

我们在万军之耶和华的城中 —就是我们 神的城中—所看见的， 正如我们所听见的。 神必坚立这城，直到永远。 (细拉)

9 God, we recall your trustworthy love as we worship in the Temple.

神啊，我们在你的殿中想念你的慈爱。

10 As is fitting for your reputation, God, praises to you stretch all around the world. What you do is always right!

神啊，你受的赞美正与你的名相称，直到地极！ 你的右手满了公义。

11 Let the people of Mount Zion be glad; let the people of Judah celebrate because your judgments are always fair!

因你的判断，锡安山应当欢喜， 犹大的城邑应当快乐。

12 Go and take a look at Zion. Count the towers as you walk around.

你们当周游锡安， 四围旋绕，数点城楼，

13 Inspect the fortifications. Examine the citadels, so you can describe everything to the next generation, telling them:

细看她的外郭， 察看她的宫殿， 为要传说到后代。

14 “This is who our God is. He is our God forever and ever. He himself will lead us until the very end.”

因为这 神永永远远为我们的 神； 他必作我们引路的，直到死时。
