Psalms 48
1 A Canticle Psalm. To the sons of Korah, on the second Sabbath. The Lord is great and exceedingly praiseworthy, in the city of our God, on his holy mountain.
Pjesma. Psalam. Sinova Korahovih. Velik je Jahve, hvale predostojan u gradu Boga našega.
2 Mount Zion is being founded with the exultation of the whole earth, on the north side, the city of the great king.
Sveto brdo njegovo, brijeg veličanstven, radost je zemlji svoj. Gora Sion, na krajnjem sjeveru, grad je Kralja velikog.
3 In her houses, God will be known, since he will support her.
Bog u kulama njegovim jakom se pokaza utvrdom.
4 For behold, the kings of the earth have been gathered together; they have convened as one.
Jer gle, složiše se kraljevi, navališe zajedno.
5 Such did they see, and they were astonished: they were disturbed, they were moved.
Čim vidješe, zapanjiše se i zbunjeni u bijeg nagnuše.
6 Trembling took hold of them. In that place, their pains were that of a woman in labor.
Ondje ih trepet obuze kao muka porodilje,
7 With a vehement spirit, you will crush the ships of Tarshish.
kao kad vjetar istočni razbija brodove taršiške.
8 As we have heard, so we have seen, in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God. God has founded it in eternity.
Što smo čuli, sada vidimo: grad Jahve nad Vojskama, grad Boga našega - Bog ga utvrdi dovijeka.
9 We have received your mercy, O God, in the midst of your temple.
Spominjemo se, Bože, tvoje dobrote usred Hrama tvojega.
10 According to your name, O God, so does your praise reach to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is full of justice.
Kao ime tvoje, Bože, tako i slava tvoja do nakraj zemlje doseže. Puna je pravde desnica tvoja; neka se raduje brdo sionsko!
11 Let mount Zion rejoice, and let the daughters of Judah exult, because of your judgments, O Lord.
Neka kliču gradovi Judini zbog tvojih sudova!
12 Encircle Zion and embrace her. Discourse in her towers.
Obiđite Sion i prođite njime, prebrojite kule njegove!
13 Set your hearts on her virtue. And distribute her houses, so that you may discourse of it in another generation.
Pogledajte dobro bedeme njegove, promotrite mu potanko dvorove: da biste kazivali budućem koljenu:
14 For this is God, our God, in eternity and forever and ever. He will rule us forever.
“Takav je Bog, Bog naš zasvagda i dovijeka! On neka nas vodi!”
