詩篇 48
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
上帝的城——錫安
可拉後裔的詩。
48 耶和華何等偉大！
我們的上帝在祂的城中，
在祂的聖山上當大受頌讚。
2 北面的錫安山雄偉壯麗，
令世人歡喜，
是偉大君王的城。
3 上帝在城內的宮中，
祂親自做這城的庇護。
4 世上的君王一同聚集，前來攻城。
5 他們看見這城後，
大驚失色，慌忙逃跑。
6 他們被恐懼籠罩，
痛苦如分娩的婦人。
7 你毀滅他們，
如同東風摧毀他施的船隻。
8 我們曾經聽說，如今在萬軍之耶和華的城中，
在我們上帝的城中親眼看見：
上帝要堅立這城，直到永遠。（細拉）
9 上帝啊，我們在你的殿中默想你的慈愛。
10 上帝啊，你秉公行義，
你的名普世皆知，
頌讚你的聲音響徹地極。
11 因你的審判，
錫安山歡喜，
猶大的城邑充滿快樂。
12 你們要繞著錫安數點她的城樓，
13 留意她的城牆，
觀看她的殿宇，
好告訴子孫後代。
14 因為上帝永永遠遠是我們的上帝，
祂必引領我們，
直到我們離世之日。
Tehillim 48
Orthodox Jewish Bible
48 (Shir. Mizmor. Of the Bnei Korach.) Gadol is Hashem, and greatly to be praised in the Ir Eloheinu, in His Har Kodesh.
2 (3) Yafeh in its loftiness, the joy of kol ha’aretz, is Mt Tziyon, on the sides of the north, the City of Melech Rav.
3 (4) Elohim is in her citadels, known as her fortress.
4 (5) For, hinei, the melachim were assembled, they advanced together.
5 (6) They saw, and ken (thus) they marvelled; they were troubled, and fled.
6 (7) Trembling took hold upon them sham (there), and pain, as of a woman in labor.
7 (8) Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.
8 (9) As we have heard, so have we seen in the Ir Hashem Tzvaos, in the Ir Eloheinu; Elohim will establish it ad olam. Selah.
9 (10) We meditate on Thy chesed, O Elohim, in the midst of Thy Heikhal.
10 (11) According to Thy Shem, O Elohim, so is Thy tehillah unto the ends of ha’aretz; Thy right hand is full of tzedek.
11 (12) Let Mt Tziyon rejoice, let the Banot Yehudah (Daughters of Judah) be glad, because of Thy mishpatim.
12 (13) Walk about Tziyon, and go around her; count the towers thereof.
13 (14) Mark ye well her ramparts, consider her citadels; that ye may tell it to the dor acharon.
14 (15) For this Elohim is Eloheinu olam vaed; He will be our guide even unto death. [T.N. Notice v.8(9)-9(10) in Psa 49, which tells why Moshiach can not be a mere man, in which case he could not redeem another, or be Hashem’s Isa 53 redemption lamb or the Isa 53 sa’ir l’azazel kapporah.]
Psalm 48
King James Version
48 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness.
2 Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.
3 God is known in her palaces for a refuge.
4 For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together.
5 They saw it, and so they marvelled; they were troubled, and hasted away.
6 Fear took hold upon them there, and pain, as of a woman in travail.
7 Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.
8 As 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.
9 We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple.
10 According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.
11 Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments.
12 Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers thereof.
13 Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following.
14 For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.
Psalm 48
New Century Version
Jerusalem, the City of God
A psalm of the sons of Korah.
48 The Lord is great; he should be praised
in the city of our God, on his holy mountain.
2 It is high and beautiful
and brings joy to the whole world.
Mount Zion is like the high mountains of the north;
it is the city of the Great King.
3 God is within its palaces;
he is known as its defender.
4 Kings joined together
and came to attack the city.
5 But when they saw it, they were amazed.
They ran away in fear.
6 Fear took hold of them;
they hurt like a woman having a baby.
7 You destroyed the large trading ships
with an east wind.
8 First we heard
and now we have seen
that God will always keep his city safe.
It is the city of the Lord All-Powerful,
the city of our God. Selah
9 God, we come into your Temple
to think about your love.
10 God, your name is known everywhere;
all over the earth people praise you.
Your right hand is full of goodness.
11 Mount Zion is happy
and all the towns of Judah rejoice,
because your decisions are fair.
12 Walk around Jerusalem
and count its towers.
13 Notice how strong they are.
Look at the palaces.
Then you can tell your children about them.
14 This God is our God forever and ever.
He will guide us from now on.
