Psalms 48

1 A Song; a Psalm of the sons of Korah. Great is the LORD, and highly to be praised, in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.

canticum psalmi filiis Core secunda sabbati magnus Dominus et laudabilis nimis in civitate Dei nostri in monte sancto eius

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.

fundatur exultatione universae terrae montes Sion latera aquilonis civitas regis magni

3 God hath made himself known in her palaces for a refuge.

Deus in domibus eius cognoscitur cum suscipiet eam

4 For, lo, the kings assembled themselves, they passed by together.

quoniam ecce reges congregati sunt convenerunt in unum

5 They saw it, then were they amazed; they were dismayed, they hasted away.

ipsi videntes sic admirati sunt conturbati sunt commoti sunt

6 Trembling took hold of them there; pain, as of a woman in travail.

tremor adprehendit eos ibi dolores ut parturientis

7 With the east wind thou breakest the ships of Tarshish.

in spiritu vehementi conteres naves Tharsis

8 As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. (Selah)

sicut audivimus sic vidimus in civitate Domini virtutum in civitate Dei nostri Deus fundavit eam in aeternum diapsalma

9 We have thought on thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple.

suscepimus Deus misericordiam tuam in medio templi tui

10 As is thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.

secundum nomen tuum Deus sic et laus tua in fines terrae iustitia plena est dextera tua

11 Let mount Zion be glad, let the daughters of Judah rejoice, because of thy judgments.

laetetur mons Sion exultent filiae Iudaeae propter iudicia tua Domine

12 Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers thereof.

circumdate Sion et conplectimini eam narrate in turribus eius

13 Mark ye welt her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following.

ponite corda vestra in virtute eius et distribuite domus eius ut enarretis in progeniem alteram

14 For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide [even] unto death.

quoniam hic est Deus Deus noster in aeternum et in saeculum saeculi ipse reget nos in saecula
