Salmos 48
La Biblia de las Américas
Hermosura y gloria de Sión
Cántico. Salmo de los hijos de Coré.
48 Grande es el Señor, y muy digno de ser alabado(A)
en la ciudad de nuestro Dios(B), su santo monte(C).
2 Hermoso en su elevación(D), el gozo de toda la tierra(E)
es el monte Sión, en el extremo norte,
la ciudad del gran Rey(F).
3 Dios en sus palacios
se dio a conocer como baluarte(G).
4 Pues, he aquí, los reyes se reunieron(H);
pasaron juntos.
5 Ellos la vieron y quedaron pasmados;
se aterrorizaron(I) y huyeron alarmados.
6 Allí se apoderó de ellos un temblor;
dolor como el de mujer que está de parto(J).
7 Con el viento solano(K)
tú destrozas las naves de Tarsis(L).
8 Como lo hemos oído, así lo hemos visto
en la ciudad del Señor de los ejércitos, en la ciudad de nuestro Dios;
Dios la afirmará para siempre(M). (Selah[a])
9 En tu misericordia, oh Dios, hemos meditado(N),
en medio de tu templo.
10 Oh Dios, como es tu nombre(O),
así es tu alabanza(P) hasta los confines de la tierra;
llena de justicia está tu diestra(Q).
11 Alégrese el monte Sión,
regocíjense las hijas de Judá(R),
a causa de tus juicios.
12 Andad por Sión e id alrededor de ella;
contad sus torres(S);
13 considerad atentamente sus murallas(T),
recorred sus palacios,
para que lo contéis a la generación venidera(U).
14 Porque este es Dios,
nuestro Dios por siempre jamás;
Él nos guiará hasta la muerte[b](V).

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
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.
