 神必坚立圣城

歌一首,可拉子孙的诗。

48 在我们 神的城中,在他的圣山上,

耶和华是至大的,应该大受赞美。

在北面的锡安山、大君王的城,

美丽高耸,是全地所喜欢的。

 神在城的堡垒中,

显明自己是避难所。

看哪!列王会合,

一同前进。

他们一见这城,就惊惶,

慌忙逃跑。

他们在那里战栗恐惧;

他们痛苦好象妇人分娩时一样。

你用东风摧毁他施的船队。

在万军之耶和华的城中,

就是在我们 神的城中,

我们所看见的,正如我们所听见的:

 神必坚立这城,直到永远。(细拉)

 神啊!我们在你的殿中,

想念你的慈爱。

10  神啊!你受的赞美,

就像你的名一样,达到地极;

你的右手满了公义。

11 因你的审判,锡安山应当欢喜,

犹大的居民(“居民”原文作“女子”)应当快乐。

12 你们要在锡安四处巡行,绕城一周,

数点城楼,

13 细察它的外墙,

巡视它的堡垒,

使你们可以述说给后代的人听。

14 因为这位 神就是我们的 神,

直到永永远远;

他必引导我们,直到我们死的时候。

Psalm 48

A Song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.

Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised
    in the city of our God, in His holy mountain.

Beautiful in elevation,
    the joy of the whole earth,
is Mount Zion, on the sides of the north,
    the city of the great King.
God is known in her citadels
    as a refuge.

For the kings were assembled,
    they passed by together.
They saw it, and so they were astounded;
    they were alarmed, they hurried away.
Trembling seized them there,
    and pain like a woman in labor;
You break the ships of Tarshish
    with an east wind.

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 forever. Selah

We have thought of Your lovingkindness, O God,
    in the midst of Your temple.
10 According to Your name, O God,
    so is Your praise to the ends of the earth;
    Your right hand is full of righteousness.
11 May Mount Zion rejoice,
    may the daughters of Judah be glad,
    because of Your judgments.

12 Walk about Zion, and go round about her;
    count her towers;
13 mark well her bulwarks;
    consider her citadels;
    that you may tell it to the generation following.

14 For this God is our God forever and ever;
    He will be our guide even to death.

Psalm 48

A song. A psalm of the descendants of Korah.

How great is the Lord,
    how deserving of praise,
in the city of our God,
    which sits on his holy mountain!
It is high and magnificent;
    the whole earth rejoices to see it!
Mount Zion, the holy mountain,[a]
    is the city of the great King!
God himself is in Jerusalem’s towers,
    revealing himself as its defender.

The kings of the earth joined forces
    and advanced against the city.
But when they saw it, they were stunned;
    they were terrified and ran away.
They were gripped with terror
    and writhed in pain like a woman in labor.
You destroyed them like the mighty ships of Tarshish
    shattered by a powerful east wind.

We had heard of the city’s glory,
    but now we have seen it ourselves—
    the city of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.
It is the city of our God;
    he will make it safe forever. Interlude

O God, we meditate on your unfailing love
    as we worship in your Temple.
10 As your name deserves, O God,
    you will be praised to the ends of the earth.
    Your strong right hand is filled with victory.
11 Let the people on Mount Zion rejoice.
    Let all the towns of Judah be glad
    because of your justice.

12 Go, inspect the city of Jerusalem.[b]
    Walk around and count the many towers.
13 Take note of the fortified walls,
    and tour all the citadels,
that you may describe them
    to future generations.
14 For that is what God is like.
    He is our God forever and ever,
    and he will guide us until we die.
