المَزامِير 48

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

A song; a psalm of the sons of Korah. Great is Yahweh and greatly to be praised, in the city of our God on 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, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.

٣ 3 اللهُ الْمُقِيمُ فِي قُصُورِهَا مَعْرُوفٌ بِأَنَّهُ حِصْنٌ مَنِيعٌ.

God has made himself known in her palaces as a refuge.

٤ 4 هُوَذَا الْمُلُوكُ قَدِ احْتَشَدُوا وَعَبَرُوا مَعاً.

For, see, 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, and they hurried away.

٦ 6 هُنَاكَ اعْتَرَتْهُمْ رِعْدَةٌ فَتَوَجَّعُوا كَامْرَأَةٍ فِي مَخَاضِهَا.

Trembling took hold of them there, pain as when a woman is in labor.

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 have we seen in the city of Yahweh 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 covenant faithfulness, God, in the middle of your temple.

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

As your name is, God, so is your praise to the ends 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 righteous decrees.

١٢ 12 جُولُوا فِي صِهْيَوْنَ وَدُورُوا حَوْلَهَا. عُدُّوا أَبْرَاجَهَا.

Walk around Mount Zion, go round about her; count her towers,

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

notice well her walls, and look at her palaces so 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 be our guide to death.
