Mazmur 48

1 Mazmur kaum Korah. Sungguh agunglah TUHAN dan sangat terpuji di kota Allah kita, di bukit yang suci.

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.

2 Sion, bukit Allah menjulang permai kota Raja Agung menggirangkan seluruh bumi.

With the joy of the whole earth is mount Sion founded, on the sides of the north, the city of the great king.

3 Allah tinggal di dalam puri-purinya, ternyata Ia sendirilah pelindung-Nya.

In her houses shall God be known, when he shall protect her.

4 Lihatlah, raja-raja berkumpul; mereka datang hendak menyerbu.

For behold the kings of the earth assembled themselves: they gathered together.

5 Tapi melihat bukit itu, mereka tercengang; mereka gempar dan lari kebingungan.

So they saw, and they wondered, they were troubled, they were moved:

6 Di sana mereka gemetar ketakutan dan kesakitan, seperti wanita yang mau melahirkan,

Trembling took hold of them. There were pains as of a woman in labour.

7 seperti kapal yang hancur dalam topan.

With a vehement wind thou shalt break in pieces the ships of Tharsis.

8 Seperti yang kita dengar, kini kita melihatnya, di Kota TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa. Kota itu adalah Kota Allah kita, Ia membelanya untuk selama-lamanya.

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.

9 Di dalam Rumah-Mu kami merenungkan kasih-Mu, ya Allah.

We have received thy mercy, O God, in the midst of thy temple.

10 Nama-Mu termasyhur dan dipuji di seluruh bumi, Engkau memerintah dengan adil.

According to thy name, O God, so also is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of justice.

11 Biarlah rakyat Sion dan Yehuda bersorak gembira, karena Engkau menghukum lawan mereka.

Let mount Sion rejoice, and the daughters of Juda be glad; because of thy judgments, O Lord.

12 Kelilingilah Sion, putarilah dia, dan hitunglah menaranya.

Surround Sion, and encompass her: tell ye in her towers.

13 Perhatikan temboknya, periksalah bentengnya, supaya kamu dapat menceritakan kepada keturunanmu;

Set your hearts on her strength; and distribute her houses, that ye may relate it in another generation.

14 "Dialah Allah, Allah kita untuk selama-lamanya, Dia akan memimpin kita sampai kekal."

For this is God, our God unto eternity, and for ever and ever: he shall rule us for evermore.
