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.
Salmo 48
Ang Pulong Sang Dios
Zion, ang Siyudad sang Dios
48 Gamhanan ang Ginoo nga aton Dios, kag takos gid nga dayawon sa iya siyudad[a] nga ara sa iya balaan nga bukid.
2 Matahom ang kataason sini kag nagahatag sang kalipay sa bug-os nga kalibutan.
Ining balaan[b] nga Bukid sang Zion amo ang siyudad sang Gamhanan nga Hari.
3 Ara ang Dios sa mabakod nga mga parte sang Jerusalem kag napakita na niya sa mga pumuluyo sini nga siya ang ila dalangpan.
4 Nagtipon ang mga hari sa pagsalakay sa Jerusalem,
5 pero pagkakita nila sini, natingala gid sila kag nagpalalagyo sa kahadlok.
6 Nagkurog sila sa kahadlok pareho sa babayi nga nagapasakit.
7 Ginlaglag sila sang Dios[c] pareho sa mga barko sang Tarshish nga ginwasak sang hangin nga halin sa sidlangan.
8 Nabatian namon sadto ang mga ginpanghimo sang Dios
kag karon nakita namon ini sa siyudad sang amon Dios, ang Ginoo nga Makagagahom.
Palig-unon niya ini nga siyudad hasta san-o.
9 O Dios, nagapamalandong kami sa imo gugma sa sulod sang imo templo.
10 Bantog ikaw kag ginadayaw sang mga tawo sa bug-os nga kalibutan,[d]
tungod kay madinalag-on ka paagi sa imo gahom.[e]
11 Nagakalipay ang mga pumuluyo sang Zion[f] kag ang mga pumuluyo sang iban nga mga banwa sang Juda, tungod sang imo matarong nga paghukom.
12 Mga Israelinhon, libuta ninyo ang Zion[g] kag isipa ang mga tore sini.
13 Tan-awa ninyo sing maayo ang mga pader kag ang mabakod nga mga parte sang sini nga siyudad,
agod nga masugiran ninyo ang masunod nga mga henerasyon
14 nga ang Dios nga aton ginaalagad subong amo ang aton Dios sa wala sing katapusan.
Siya ang magatuytoy sa aton hasta san-o.[h]

Psalm 48
New King James Version
The Glory of God in Zion
A Song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.
48 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised
In the (A)city of our God,
In His holy mountain.
2 (B)Beautiful in [a]elevation,
The joy of the whole earth,
Is Mount Zion on the sides of the north,
The city of the great King.
3 God is in her palaces;
He is known as her refuge.
4 For behold, (C)the kings assembled,
They passed by together.
5 They saw it, and so they marveled;
They were troubled, they hastened away.
6 Fear (D)took hold of them there,
And pain, as of a woman in birth pangs,
7 As when You break the (E)ships of Tarshish
With an east wind.
8 As we have heard,
So we have seen
In the city of the Lord of hosts,
In the city of our God:
God will (F)establish it forever. Selah
9 We have thought, O God, on (G)Your lovingkindness,
In the midst of Your temple.
10 According to (H)Your name, O God,
So is Your praise to the ends of the earth;
Your right hand is full of righteousness.
11 Let Mount Zion rejoice,
Let the daughters of Judah be glad,
Because of Your judgments.
12 Walk about Zion,
And go all around her.
Count her towers;
13 Mark well her bulwarks;
Consider her palaces;
That you may (I)tell it to the generation following.
14 For this is God,
Our God forever and ever;
(J)He will be our guide
[b]Even to death.

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]
