Salmos 48

1 Grande es Jehová, y digno de ser en grande manera alabado en la ciudad de nuestro Dios, en el monte de su santuario.

For the music director. A psalm of the sons of Korah. The Lord is supreme! He deserves praise in the city of our God on his holy mountain.

2 De hermosa situación, el gozo de toda la tierra es el monte de Sión: los lados del aquilón, la ciudad del gran Rey.

Mount Zion is high and beautiful, bringing happiness to all the earth; on the northern side is the city of the great King.

3 Dios en sus palacios es conocido por refugio.

God himself is in the city's fortresses; he is recognized as its defender.

4 Porque, he aquí, los reyes de la tierra fueron congregados; pasaron todos.

Look at what happened when foreign kings joined forces and came to attack the city.

5 Ellos vieron, maravilláronse grandemente, fueron asombrados: diéronse priesa.

As soon as they saw it they were astonished and ran away terrified.

6 Temblor los tomó allí; dolor, como a mujer que pare.

They shook all over, and were in agonizing pain like a woman giving birth,

7 Con viento solano quiebras las naves de Társis.

just as the strong east wind wrecks the ships from Tarshish.

8 Como lo oímos, así lo vimos en la ciudad de Jehová de los ejércitos, en la ciudad de nuestro Dios: Dios la afirmará para siempre. (Selah)

Just as we had heard, but now we have seen the city of the Lord Almighty. This is the city of our God; he makes it secure forever. (Selah)

9 Esperamos, o! Dios, tu misericordia en medio de tu templo.

God, we recall your trustworthy love as we worship in the Temple.

10 Conforme a tu nombre, o! Dios, así es tu loor hasta los fines de la tierra: de justicia está llena tu diestra.

As is fitting for your reputation, God, praises to you stretch all around the world. What you do is always right!

11 Alegrarse ha el monte de Sión: regocijarse han las hijas de Judá por tus juicios.

Let the people of Mount Zion be glad; let the people of Judah celebrate because your judgments are always fair!

12 Rodeád a Sión, y cercádla: contád sus torres.

Go and take a look at Zion. Count the towers as you walk around.

13 Ponéd vuestro corazón a su antemuro: mirád sus palacios, para que lo contéis a la generación que vendrá.

Inspect the fortifications. Examine the citadels, so you can describe everything to the next generation, telling them:

14 Porque este Dios es Dios nuestro eternalmente y para siempre: él nos capitaneará hasta la muerte.

“This is who our God is. He is our God forever and ever. He himself will lead us until the very end.”
