Psalms 48
1 A Song; a Psalm. Of the sons of Korah. Great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the hill of his holiness.
Pjesma. Psalam. Sinova Korahovih. Velik je Jahve, hvale predostojan u gradu Boga našega.
2 Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, [on] the sides of the north, 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 God is known in her palaces as a high fortress.
Bog u kulama njegovim jakom se pokaza utvrdom.
4 For behold, the kings assembled themselves, they passed by together;
Jer gle, složiše se kraljevi, navališe zajedno.
5 They saw, — so they marvelled; they were troubled, they fled in consternation:
Čim vidješe, zapanjiše se i zbunjeni u bijeg nagnuše.
6 Trembling took hold upon them there; anguish, as of a woman in travail.
Ondje ih trepet obuze kao muka porodilje,
7 With an east wind thou hast broken the ships of Tarshish.
kao kad vjetar istočni razbija brodove taršiške.
8 As we have heard, so have we seen, in the city of Jehovah of hosts, in the city of our God: God doth establish it for ever. (Selah)
Što smo čuli, sada vidimo: grad Jahve nad Vojskama, grad Boga našega - Bog ga utvrdi dovijeka.
9 We have thought, O God, of thy loving-kindness, in the midst of thy temple.
Spominjemo se, Bože, tvoje dobrote usred Hrama tvojega.
10 According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.
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, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments.
Neka kliču gradovi Judini zbog tvojih sudova!
12 Walk about Zion, and go round about her: count the towers thereof;
Obiđite Sion i prođite njime, prebrojite kule njegove!
13 Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces: that ye may tell it to the generation following.
Pogledajte dobro bedeme njegove, promotrite mu potanko dvorove: da biste kazivali budućem koljenu:
14 For this God is our God for ever and ever; he will be our guide until death.
“Takav je Bog, Bog naš zasvagda i dovijeka! On neka nas vodi!”
