المَزامِير 48

١ 1 لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ لِبَنِي قُورَحَ مَا أَعْظَمَ الرَّبَّ وَمَا أَجْدَرَهُ بِالتَّسْبِيحِ فِي مَدِينَةِ إِلَهِنَا، فِي جَبَلِ قَدَاسَتِهِ!

[A Song. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.] Great is YHWH, and greatly to be praised, in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.

٢ 2 جَبَلُ صِهْيَوْنَ جَمِيلٌ فِي شُمُوخِهِ، (هُوَ) فَرَحُ كُلِّ الأَرْضِ حَتَّى أَقَاصِي الشَّمَالِ. هُوَ مَدِينَةُ الْمَلِكِ الْعَظِيمِ.

Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion, in the far north, the city of the great King.

٣ 3 اللهُ الْمُقِيمُ فِي قُصُورِهَا مَعْرُوفٌ بِأَنَّهُ حِصْنٌ مَنِيعٌ.

God has shown himself in her citadels as a refuge.

٤ 4 هُوَذَا الْمُلُوكُ قَدِ احْتَشَدُوا وَعَبَرُوا مَعاً.

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

٥ 5 رَأَوْا بَيْتَ اللهِ فَذُهِلُوا. ارْتَاعُوا وَفَرُّوا.

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

٦ 6 هُنَاكَ اعْتَرَتْهُمْ رِعْدَةٌ فَتَوَجَّعُوا كَامْرَأَةٍ فِي مَخَاضِهَا.

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

٧ 7 تُحَطِّمُ سُفُنَ تَرْشِيشَ بِرِيحٍ شَرْقِيَّةٍ.

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

٨ 8 كَمَا سَمِعْنَا رَأَيْنَا فِي مَدِينَةِ رَبِّ الْجُنُودِ، مَدِينَةِ إِلَهِنَا. حَقّاً إِنَّ اللهَ يُثَبِّتُهَا إِلَى الأَبَدِ.

As we have heard, so we have seen, in the city of YHWH of hosts, in the city of our God. God will establish it forever. (Selah)

٩ 9 تَأَمَّلْنَا يَا اللهُ فِي رَحْمَتِكَ فِي وَسَطِ هَيْكَلِكَ.

We have thought about your loving kindness, God, in the midst of your temple.

١٠ 10 تَسْبِيحُكَ يَا اللهُ مِثْلُ اسْمِكَ يَبْلُغُ أَقَاصِي الأَرْضِ. يَمِينُكَ مَلآنَةٌ صَلاحاً.

As is your name, God, so is your praise to the farthest parts of the earth. Your right hand is full of righteousness.

١١ 11 لِيَفْرَحْ جَبَلُ صِهْيَوْنَ وَلْتَبْتَهِجْ بَنَاتُ يَهُوذَا مِنْ أَجْلِ أَحْكَامِ قَضَائِكَ.

Let Mount Zion be glad. Let the daughters of Judah rejoice, Because of your judgments.

١٢ 12 جُولُوا فِي صِهْيَوْنَ وَدُورُوا حَوْلَهَا. عُدُّوا أَبْرَاجَهَا.

Walk about Zion, and go around her. Number its towers.

١٣ 13 تَفَرَّسُوا فِي مَتَارِيسِهَا وَتَأَمَّلُوا قُصُورَهَا لِتُخْبِرُوا بِها الأَجْيَالَ الْقَادِمَةَ.

Consider her defenses. Consider her palaces, that you may tell it to the next generation.

١٤ 14 لأَنَّ اللهَ هَذَا هُوَ إِلَهُنَا إِلَى الدَّهْرِ وَالأَبَدِ، وَهُوَ هَادِينَا حَتَّى الْمَوْتِ.

For this God is our God forever and ever. He will guide us forever.
