Thánh Thi 48
New Vietnamese Bible
Thơ Con Cháu Cô-rê Làm. Bài Hát
48 CHÚA thật vĩ đại, rất đáng được ca ngợi
Trong thành của Đức Chúa Trời chúng ta và trên núi thánh Ngài.
2 Núi thánh Ngài cao vút đẹp đẽ,
Là niềm vui cho toàn trái đất.
Núi Si-ôn, đỉnh cao của Sa-phan,
Là thành đô của vua lớn.
3 Từ giữa các đền đài[a] của thành ấy,
Đức Chúa Trời chứng tỏ Ngài là nơi trú ẩn vững vàng.
4 Vì kìa, các vua tụ họp lại,
Cùng nhau tiến lên đánh thành.
5 Họ thấy thành nên kinh hoàng
Và hoảng sợ tháo chạy.
6 Tại đó, họ run rẩy rụng rời,[b]
Đau đớn như đàn bà sinh đẻ.
7 Như các tàu Ta-rê-si
Bị gió đông đánh tan nát.
8 Những gì chúng tôi đã nghe,
Thì chúng tôi đã thấy
Trong thành của CHÚA Vạn Quân,
Tức là thành của Đức Chúa Trời chúng ta.
Đức Chúa Trời vững lập thành muôn đời.
9 Lạy Đức Chúa Trời, tại giữa đền thờ Ngài,
Chúng tôi suy gẫm về tình yêu thương của Ngài.
10 Lạy Đức Chúa Trời, danh Ngài thể nào,
Thì lời ca ngợi Ngài cũng vang ra tận cùng trái đất thể ấy.
Tay hữu Ngài đầy sự công bình.
11 Núi Si-ôn hân hoan,
Các con gái[c] Giu-đa mừng rỡ
Vì sự đoán xét của Ngài.
12 Hãy đi khắp Si-ôn, đi vòng quanh thành,
Đếm các ngọn tháp nó.
13 Hãy chú ý đến các chỗ kiên cố,[d]
Xem xét[e] các thành lũy,
Để thuật lại cho thế hệ tương lai
14 Rằng: Ngài là Đức Chúa Trời, Đức Chúa Trời của chúng ta.
Chính Ngài sẽ hướng dẫn chúng ta mãi mãi.[f]
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
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
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]
