Mazmur 48
Mazmur · Psalms
1Nyanyian. Mazmur bani Korah. (48-2) Besarlah TUHAN dan sangat terpuji di kota Allah kita!
1Great is the LORD and greatly to be praised in the city of our God! His holy mountain,
2(48-3) Gunung-Nya yang kudus, yang menjulang permai, adalah kegirangan bagi seluruh bumi; gunung Sion itu, jauh di sebelah utara, kota Raja Besar.
2beautiful in elevation, is the joy of all the earth, Mount Zion, in the far north, the city of the great King.
3(48-4) Dalam puri-purinya Allah memperkenalkan diri-Nya sebagai benteng.
3Within her citadels God has made himself known as a fortress.
4(48-5) Sebab lihat, raja-raja datang berkumpul, mereka bersama-sama berjalan maju;
4For behold, the kings assembled; they came on together.
5(48-6) demi mereka melihatnya, mereka tercengang-cengang, terkejut, lalu lari kebingungan.
5As soon as they saw it, they were astounded; they were in panic; they took to flight.
6(48-7) Kegentaran menimpa mereka di sana; mereka kesakitan seperti perempuan yang hendak melahirkan.
6Trembling took hold of them there, anguish as of a woman in labor.
7(48-8) Dengan angin timur Engkau memecahkan kapal-kapal Tarsis.
7By the east wind you shattered the ships of Tarshish.
8(48-9) Seperti yang telah kita dengar, demikianlah juga kita lihat, di kota TUHAN semesta alam, di kota Allah kita; Allah menegakkannya untuk selama-lamanya. Sela
8As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God, which God will establish forever. Selah
9(48-10) Kami mengingat, ya Allah, kasih setia-Mu di dalam bait-Mu.
9We have thought on your steadfast love, O God, in the midst of your temple.
10(48-11) Seperti nama-Mu, ya Allah, demikianlah kemasyhuran-Mu sampai ke ujung bumi; tangan kanan-Mu penuh dengan keadilan.
10As your name, O God, so your praise reaches to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is filled with righteousness.
11(48-12) Biarlah gunung Sion bersukacita; biarlah anak-anak perempuan Yehuda bersorak-sorak oleh karena penghukuman-Mu!
11Let Mount Zion be glad! Let the daughters of Judah rejoice because of your judgments!
12(48-13) Kelilingilah Sion dan edarilah dia, hitunglah menaranya,
12Walk about Zion, go around her, number her towers,
13(48-14) perhatikanlah temboknya, jalanilah puri-purinya, supaya kamu dapat menceriterakannya kepada angkatan yang kemudian:
13consider well her ramparts, go through her citadels, that you may tell the next generation
14(48-15) Sesungguhnya inilah Allah, Allah kitalah Dia seterusnya dan untuk selamanya! Dialah yang memimpin kita!
14that this is God, our God forever and ever. He will guide us forever.
