Psalmi 48

1 Pjesma. Psalam. Sinova Korahovih. Velik je Jahve, hvale predostojan u gradu Boga našega.

A song. A psalm of the Korahites. Great is the Lord and worthy all praise in the city of our God. His holy mountain,

2 Sveto brdo njegovo, brijeg veličanstven, radost je zemlji svoj. Gora Sion, na krajnjem sjeveru, grad je Kralja velikog.

that rises so fair, is the joy of all the world. Like the mount of the gods is Mount Zion, the city of the great king.

3 Bog u kulama njegovim jakom se pokaza utvrdom.

Once God made himself known as the defence of her palaces.

4 Jer gle, složiše se kraljevi, navališe zajedno.

For see! A concert of kings passed over the frontier together.

5 Čim vidješe, zapanjiše se i zbunjeni u bijeg nagnuše.

But one glance, and they were astounded; they hastened away in dismay.

6 Ondje ih trepet obuze kao muka porodilje,

Trembling took hold of them there, like the pains of a woman in labor.

7 kao kad vjetar istočni razbija brodove taršiške.

They were shattered, as east wind shatters the giant ships in pieces.

8 Što smo čuli, sada vidimo: grad Jahve nad Vojskama, grad Boga našega - Bog ga utvrdi dovijeka.

What we heard, we now have seen in the city of the Lord of hosts, the city of our God. God will uphold her forever. (Selah)

9 Spominjemo se, Bože, tvoje dobrote usred Hrama tvojega.

We think, O God, of your love, in the midst of your temple.

10 Kao ime tvoje, Bože, tako i slava tvoja do nakraj zemlje doseže. Puna je pravde desnica tvoja; neka se raduje brdo sionsko!

Your fame, O God, like your name, shall extend to the ends of the earth. Victory fills your hand.

11 Neka kliču gradovi Judini zbog tvojih sudova!

Let mount Zion be glad; let the daughters of Judah rejoice because of your judgments.

12 Obiđite Sion i prođite njime, prebrojite kule njegove!

Walk about Zion, go round her; count her towers.

13 Pogledajte dobro bedeme njegove, promotrite mu potanko dvorove: da biste kazivali budućem koljenu:

Set your mind on her ramparts, consider her palaces; that you tell to the next generation

14 “Takav je Bog, Bog naš zasvagda i dovijeka! On neka nas vodi!”

That such is God, our God he it is who shall guide us for ever and ever.
