Psalms 48
1 [A Song. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.] Great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised, in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.
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, in the far 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 has shown himself in her citadels as a refuge.
Bog u kulama njegovim jakom se pokaza utvrdom.
4 For, look, the kings assembled themselves, they passed by together.
Jer gle, složiše se kraljevi, navališe zajedno.
5 They saw it, then they were amazed. They were dismayed. They hurried away.
Čim vidješe, zapanjiše se i zbunjeni u bijeg nagnuše.
6 Trembling took hold of them there, pain, as of a woman in travail.
Ondje ih trepet obuze kao muka porodilje,
7 With the east wind, you break the ships of Tarshish.
kao kad vjetar istočni razbija brodove taršiške.
8 As we have heard, so we have seen, in the city of Jehovah of hosts, in the city of our God. God will establish it forever. (Selah)
Što smo čuli, sada vidimo: grad Jahve nad Vojskama, grad Boga našega - Bog ga utvrdi dovijeka.
9 We have thought about your loving kindness, God, in the midst of your temple.
Spominjemo se, Bože, tvoje dobrote usred Hrama tvojega.
10 As is your name, God, so is your praise to the farthest parts of the earth. Your 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 be glad. Let the daughters of Judah rejoice, Because of your judgments.
Neka kliču gradovi Judini zbog tvojih sudova!
12 Walk about Zion, and go around her. Number its towers.
Obiđite Sion i prođite njime, prebrojite kule njegove!
13 Consider her defenses. Consider her palaces, that you may tell it to the next generation.
Pogledajte dobro bedeme njegove, promotrite mu potanko dvorove: da biste kazivali budućem koljenu:
14 For this God is our God forever and ever. He will guide us forever.
“Takav je Bog, Bog naš zasvagda i dovijeka! On neka nas vodi!”
