Psalms 48

1Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness.

גָּדֹול יְהוָה וּמְהֻלָּל מְאֹד בְּעִיר אֱלֹהֵינוּ הַר־קָדְשֹׁו׃ (1224)

2Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.

יְפֵה נֹוף מְשֹׂושׂ כָּל־הָאָרֶץ הַר־צִיֹּון יַרְכְּתֵי צָפֹון קִרְיַת מֶלֶךְ רָב׃ (3452)

3God is known in her palaces for a refuge.

אֱלֹהִים בְּאַרְמְנֹותֶיהָ נֹודַע לְמִשְׂגָּב׃ (1305)

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

כִּי־הִנֵּה הַמְּלָכִים נֹועֲדוּ עָבְרוּ יַחְדָּו׃ (677)

5They saw it, and so they marvelled; they were troubled, and hasted away.

הֵמָּה רָאוּ כֵּן תָּמָהוּ נִבְהֲלוּ נֶחְפָּזוּ׃ (1022)

6Fear took hold upon them there, and pain, as of a woman in travail.

רְעָדָה אֲחָזָתַם שָׁם חִיל כַּיֹּולֵדָה׃ (1198)

7Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.

בְּרוּחַ קָדִים תְּשַׁבֵּר אֳנִיֹּות תַּרְשִׁישׁ׃ (2949)

8As 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.

כַּאֲשֶׁר שָׁמַעְנוּ ׀ כֵּן רָאִינוּ בְּעִיר־יְהוָה צְבָאֹות בְּעִיר אֱלֹהֵינוּ אֱלֹהִים יְכֹונְנֶהָ עַד־עֹולָם סֶלָה׃ (3057)

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

דִּמִּינוּ אֱלֹהִים חַסְדֶּךָ בְּקֶרֶב הֵיכָלֶךָ׃ (677)

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

כְּשִׁמְךָ אֱלֹהִים כֵּן תְּהִלָּתְךָ עַל־קַצְוֵי־אֶרֶץ צֶדֶק מָלְאָה יְמִינֶךָ׃ (2388)

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

יִשְׂמַח ׀ הַר־צִיֹּון תָּגֵלְנָה בְּנֹות יְהוּדָה לְמַעַן מִשְׁפָּטֶיךָ׃ (2344)

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

סֹבּוּ צִיֹּון וְהַקִּיפוּהָ סִפְרוּ מִגְדָּלֶיהָ׃ (874)

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

שִׁיתוּ לִבְּכֶם ׀ לְחֵילָה פַּסְּגוּ אַרְמְנֹותֶיהָ לְמַעַן תְּסַפְּרוּ לְדֹור אַחֲרֹון׃ (3193)

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

כִּי זֶה ׀ אֱלֹהִים אֱלֹהֵינוּ עֹולָם וָעֶד הוּא יְנַהֲגֵנוּ עַל־מוּת׃ (1138)
