Psalms 48

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

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

Fanjàka an-toe’e eo, ty hafalea’ ty tane toy, ty vohi’ i Tsiône añ’ila’e avaratse ey, ty rova’ i Mpanjaka hinakinakey.

3 God has shown himself in her citadels as a refuge.

I Andrianañahare an-kijoli’ey, ty nampandrèndreke t’ie ro fipalirañe.

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

Hehe, nifanontoñe o mpanjakao, nitrao-pionjoñe mb’etoañe,

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

Nioni’ iereo; le nilatsa; nange­traketrake, vaho nitriban-day.

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

Namihiñe iareo ty fihondrahondra, ninivonivotse hoe ampela mitsongo.

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

I tiok’ atiñanañey ty ampivaletrahe’o o lakam-bein-Tarsiseo.

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

Hambañe amy jinanjin-tikañey ty nionin-tika an-drova’ Iehovà’ i Màroy, an-drovan’ Añaharentikañe ao; ee t’ie hajadon’ Añahare tsy ho modo nainai’ey. Selà

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

Nitsakorea’ay ty fiferenaiña’o ry Andrianañahare añivo’ i anjomba’o miavakey.

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

Manahake i tahina’oy ry Andrianañahare, ty fandrengeañe Azo, pak’ añ’olo’ ty tane toy; lifo-kavantañañe ty fità’o havana.

11 Let Mount Zion be glad! Let the daughters of Judah rejoice because of your judgments.

Ampifaleo i vohitse Tsiôney, ampirebeho o anak’ ampela’ Iehodào ty amo fizakà’oo.

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

Mañariaria amy Tsiône, ikariokarioho, volilio o fitilik-abo’eo,

13 Notice her bulwarks. Consider her palaces, that you may tell it to the next generation.

Hehe o kijoli’eo, rangao o fitalakesañ’abo’eo; hahatalilia’o i tariratse mandimbey.

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

Zay t’i Andrianañahare, Andrianañaharen-tikañey, nainai’e donia. Ie ty hiaolo antikañe pak’an-kavilasy.
