Psalms 48
1 A song or Psalme committed to the sonnes of Korah. Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praysed, in the Citie of our God, euen vpon his holy Mountaine.
canticum psalmi filiis Core secunda sabbati magnus Dominus et laudabilis nimis in civitate Dei nostri in monte sancto eius
2 Mount Zion, lying Northwarde, is faire in situation: it is the ioy of the whole earth, and the Citie of the great King.
fundatur exultatione universae terrae montes Sion latera aquilonis civitas regis magni
3 In the palaces thereof God is knowen for a refuge.
Deus in domibus eius cognoscitur cum suscipiet eam
4 For lo, the Kings were gathered, and went together.
quoniam ecce reges congregati sunt convenerunt in unum
5 When they sawe it, they marueiled: they were astonied, and suddenly driuen backe.
ipsi videntes sic admirati sunt conturbati sunt commoti sunt
6 Feare came there vpon them, and sorowe, as vpon a woman in trauaile.
tremor adprehendit eos ibi dolores ut parturientis
7 As with an East winde thou breakest the shippes of Tarshish, so were they destroyed.
in spiritu vehementi conteres naves Tharsis
8 As we haue heard, so haue we seene in the citie of the Lord of hostes, in the Citie of our God: God will stablish it for euer. (Selah)
sicut audivimus sic vidimus in civitate Domini virtutum in civitate Dei nostri Deus fundavit eam in aeternum diapsalma
9 We waite for thy louing kindnes, O God, in the middes of thy Temple.
suscepimus Deus misericordiam tuam in medio templi tui
10 O God, according vnto thy Name, so is thy prayse vnto the worlds end: thy right hand is full of righteousnes.
secundum nomen tuum Deus sic et laus tua in fines terrae iustitia plena est dextera tua
11 Let mount Zion reioyce, and the daughters of Iudah be glad, because of thy iudgements.
laetetur mons Sion exultent filiae Iudaeae propter iudicia tua Domine
12 Compasse about Zion, and goe round about it, and tell the towres thereof.
circumdate Sion et conplectimini eam narrate in turribus eius
13 Marke well the wall thereof: beholde her towres, that ye may tell your posteritie.
ponite corda vestra in virtute eius et distribuite domus eius ut enarretis in progeniem alteram
14 For this God is our God for euer and euer: he shall be our guide vnto the death.
quoniam hic est Deus Deus noster in aeternum et in saeculum saeculi ipse reget nos in saecula
