Psalms 48
1 A Melodious Song. For the Sons of Korah. Great is Yahweh, and worthy to be mightily praised, In the city of our God, His holy mountain.
Mazmur kaum Korah. Sungguh agunglah TUHAN dan sangat terpuji di kota Allah kita, di bukit yang suci.
2 Beautiful in elevation, the joy of all the land, Is Mount Zion, in the recesses of the north, —The city of a great king.
Sion, bukit Allah menjulang permai kota Raja Agung menggirangkan seluruh bumi.
3 God, in her palaces, is to be known as a high tower.
Allah tinggal di dalam puri-purinya, ternyata Ia sendirilah pelindung-Nya.
4 For lo! Kings—Met as appointed, Passed by together;
Lihatlah, raja-raja berkumpul; mereka datang hendak menyerbu.
5 They themselves, saw, So, were they amazed, Dismayed—they hurried way!
Tapi melihat bukit itu, mereka tercengang; mereka gempar dan lari kebingungan.
6 Trembling, seized them, there, Pangs. like hers who is in travail.
Di sana mereka gemetar ketakutan dan kesakitan, seperti wanita yang mau melahirkan,
7 With an east wind, wilt thou shatter the ships of Tarshish.
seperti kapal yang hancur dalam topan.
8 Just as we have heard, So, have we seen, In the city of Yahweh of hosts, In the city of our God, God himself, will establish her, unto times age-abiding. (Selah)
Seperti yang kita dengar, kini kita melihatnya, di Kota TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa. Kota itu adalah Kota Allah kita, Ia membelanya untuk selama-lamanya.
9 We have thought, O God, upon thy lovingkindness, In the midst of thy temple:
Di dalam Rumah-Mu kami merenungkan kasih-Mu, ya Allah.
10 According to thy Name, O God, So, be thy praise, unto the ends of the earth, With righteousness, is, thy right hand, filled.
Nama-Mu termasyhur dan dipuji di seluruh bumi, Engkau memerintah dengan adil.
11 Let Mount Zion rejoice, Let the daughters of Judah exult, Because of thy judgments.
Biarlah rakyat Sion dan Yehuda bersorak gembira, karena Engkau menghukum lawan mereka.
12 Go round Zion, and compass her about, Reckon up her towers;
Kelilingilah Sion, putarilah dia, dan hitunglah menaranya.
13 Apply your mind to her rampart, Pass between her palaces, That ye may recount them to an after generation;
Perhatikan temboknya, periksalah bentengnya, supaya kamu dapat menceritakan kepada keturunanmu;
14 For, this God, is our God, to times age-abiding and beyond, He himself, will conduct us till death.
"Dialah Allah, Allah kita untuk selama-lamanya, Dia akan memimpin kita sampai kekal."
