< Psalms 48 >

1 A psalm of a canticle, for the sons of Core, on the second day of the week. Great is the Lord, and exceedingly to be praised in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.
تَسْبِيحَةٌ. مَزْمُورٌ لِبَنِي قُورَحَ عَظِيمٌ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ وَحَمِيدٌ جِدًّا فِي مَدِينَةِ إِلَهِنَا، جَبَلِ قُدْسِهِ.١
2 With the joy of the whole earth is mount Sion founded, on the sides of the north, the city of the great king.
جَمِيلُ ٱلِٱرْتِفَاعِ، فَرَحُ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ، جَبَلُ صِهْيَوْنَ. فَرَحُ أَقَاصِي ٱلشِّمَالِ، مَدِينَةُ ٱلْمَلِكِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ.٢
3 In her houses shall God be known, when he shall protect her.
ٱللهُ فِي قُصُورِهَا يُعْرَفُ مَلْجَأً.٣
4 For behold the kings of the earth assembled themselves: they gathered together.
لِأَنَّهُ هُوَذَا ٱلْمُلُوكُ ٱجْتَمَعُوا. مَضَوْا جَمِيعًا.٤
5 So they saw, and they wondered, they were troubled, they were moved:
لَمَّا رَأَوْا بُهِتُوا، ٱرْتَاعُوا، فَرُّوا.٥
6 Trembling took hold of them. There were pains as of a woman in labour.
أَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلرِّعْدَةُ هُنَاكَ، وَٱلْمَخَاضُ كَوَالِدَةٍ.٦
7 With a vehement wind thou shalt break in pieces the ships of Tharsis.
بِرِيحٍ شَرْقِيَّةٍ تَكْسِرُ سُفُنَ تَرْشِيشَ.٧
8 As we have heard, so have we seen, in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God: God hath founded it for ever.
كَمَا سَمِعْنَا هَكَذَا رَأَيْنَا فِي مَدِينَةِ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ، فِي مَدِينَةِ إِلَهِنَا. ٱللهُ يُثَبِّتُهَا إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. سِلَاهْ.٨
9 We have received thy mercy, O God, in the midst of thy temple.
ذَكَرْنَا يَا ٱللهُ رَحْمَتَكَ فِي وَسَطِ هَيْكَلِكَ.٩
10 According to thy name, O God, so also is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of justice.
نَظِيرُ ٱسْمِكَ يَا ٱللهُ تَسْبِيحُكَ إِلَى أَقَاصِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. يَمِينُكَ مَلآنَةٌ بِرًّا.١٠
11 Let mount Sion rejoice, and the daughters of Juda be glad; because of thy judgments, O Lord.
يَفْرَحُ جَبَلُ صِهْيَوْنَ، تَبْتَهِجُ بَنَاتُ يَهُوذَا مِنْ أَجْلِ أَحْكَامِكَ.١١
12 Surround Sion, and encompass her: tell ye in her towers.
طُوفُوا بِصِهْيَوْنَ، وَدُورُوا حَوْلَهَا. عُدُّوا أَبْرَاجَهَا.١٢
13 Set your hearts on her strength; and distribute her houses, that ye may relate it in another generation.
ضَعُوا قُلُوبَكُمْ عَلَى مَتَارِسِهَا. تَأَمَّلُوا قُصُورَهَا لِكَيْ تُحَدِّثُوا بِهَا جِيلًا آخَرَ.١٣
14 For this is God, our God unto eternity, and for ever and ever: he shall rule us for evermore.
لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ هَذَا هُوَ إِلَهُنَا إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ وَٱلْأَبَدِ. هُوَ يَهْدِينَا حَتَّى إِلَى ٱلْمَوْتِ.١٤
