Psalm 48
English Standard Version
Zion, the City of Our God
A Song. A Psalm of (A)the Sons of Korah.
48 (B)Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised
in (C)the city of our God!
His (D)holy mountain, 2 (E)beautiful in elevation,
is (F)the joy of all the earth,
Mount Zion, in the far north,
(G)the city of the great King.
3 Within her citadels God
has made himself known as a fortress.
4 For behold, (H)the kings assembled;
they came on together.
5 As soon as they saw it, they were astounded;
they were in panic; they took to flight.
6 (I)Trembling took hold of them there,
anguish (J)as of a woman in labor.
7 By (K)the east wind you (L)shattered
the ships of (M)Tarshish.
8 As we have heard, so have we seen
in the city of the Lord of hosts,
in (N)the city of our God,
which God will (O)establish forever. Selah
9 We have thought on your (P)steadfast love, O God,
in the midst of your temple.
10 As your (Q)name, O God,
so your praise reaches to (R)the ends of the earth.
Your right hand is filled with righteousness.
11 Let Mount (S)Zion be glad!
Let (T)the daughters of Judah rejoice
because of your judgments!
12 Walk about Zion, go around her,
number her towers,
13 consider well her (U)ramparts,
go through her citadels,
(V)that you may tell the next generation
14 that this is God,
our God forever and ever.
He will (W)guide us forever.[a]

Psalm 48[a]
A song. A psalm of the Sons of Korah.
1 Great is the Lord,(A) and most worthy of praise,(B)
in the city of our God,(C) his holy mountain.(D)
2 Beautiful(E) in its loftiness,
the joy of the whole earth,
like the heights of Zaphon[b](F) is Mount Zion,(G)
the city of the Great King.(H)
3 God is in her citadels;(I)
he has shown himself to be her fortress.(J)
4 When the kings joined forces,
when they advanced together,(K)
5 they saw her and were astounded;
they fled in terror.(L)
6 Trembling seized(M) them there,
pain like that of a woman in labor.(N)
7 You destroyed them like ships of Tarshish(O)
shattered by an east wind.(P)
8 As we have heard,
so we have seen
in the city of the Lord Almighty,
in the city of our God:
God makes her secure
forever.[c](Q)
9 Within your temple, O God,
we meditate(R) on your unfailing love.(S)
10 Like your name,(T) O God,
your praise reaches to the ends of the earth;(U)
your right hand is filled with righteousness.
11 Mount Zion rejoices,
the villages of Judah are glad
because of your judgments.(V)
12 Walk about Zion, go around her,
count her towers,(W)
13 consider well her ramparts,(X)
view her citadels,(Y)
that you may tell of them
to the next generation.(Z)
14 For this God is our God for ever and ever;
he will be our guide(AA) even to the end.

Salmo 48
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Salmo 48
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Ang Zion ang Bayan ng Dios
48 Dakila ang Panginoon na ating Dios,
at karapat-dapat na papurihan sa kanyang bayan,
ang kanyang banal na bundok.
2 Itoʼy mataas at maganda,
at nagbibigay kagalakan sa buong mundo.
Ang banal na bundok ng Zion ay ang bayan ng Makapangyarihang Hari.
3 Ang Dios ay nasa mga muog ng Jerusalem,
at ipinakita niyang siya ang Tagapagligtas ng mga taga-Jerusalem.
4 Nagtipon-tipon ang mga hari upang sumalakay sa Jerusalem.
5 Ngunit noong nakita ng mga hari ang bayan,
nagulat, natakot at nagsitakas sila.
6 Dahil sa takot, nanginig sila
gaya ng babaeng nanganganak na namimilipit sa sakit.
7 Winasak sila ng Dios tulad ng mga barkong panglayag[a]
na sinisira ng hanging amihan.
8 Noon, nabalitaan natin ang ginawa ng ating Dios,
pero ngayon, tayo mismo ang nakakita sa ginawa niya sa kanyang bayan.
Siya ang Panginoon ng hukbo ng kalangitan,
at patatatagin niya ang kanyang bayan magpakailanman.
9 Sa loob ng inyong templo, O Dios,
iniisip namin ang pag-ibig nʼyong matapat.
10 O Dios, dakila ang pangalan nʼyo,
at pinupuri kayo ng mga tao sa buong mundo.
Ang kapangyarihan nʼyo ay laging makatarungan.
11 Nagagalak ang mga mamamayan ng Zion,[b]
at ng mga bayan ng Juda,
dahil sa inyong makatarungang paghatol.
12 Mga mamamayan ng Dios,
libutin ninyo ang Zion at bilangin ninyo ang mga tore nito.
13 Tingnan ninyong mabuti ang mga pader at ang mga tanggulan ng bayan na ito,
upang masabi ninyo sa susunod na salinlahi,
14 “Siya ang Dios, ang Dios natin magpakailanman.
Siya ang gagabay sa atin habang buhay.”
