Psalm 48 - World English Bible with Hebrew

1 Great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised, In the city of our God, in his holy mountain.

1 שִׁ֥יר מִ֝זְמֹור לִבְנֵי־קֹֽרַח׃

2 Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, Is Mount Zion, on the north sides, The city of the great King.

2 גָּ֘דֹ֤ול יְהוָ֣ה וּמְהֻלָּ֣ל מְאֹ֑ד בְּעִ֥יר אֱ֝לֹהֵ֗ינוּ הַר־קָדְשֹֽׁו׃

3 God has shown himself in her citadels as a refuge.

3 יְפֵ֥ה נֹוף֮ מְשֹׂ֪ושׂ כָּל־הָ֫אָ֥רֶץ הַר־צִ֭יֹּון יַרְכְּתֵ֣י צָפֹ֑ון קִ֝רְיַ֗ת מֶ֣לֶךְ רָֽב׃

4 For, behold, the kings assembled themselves, They passed by together.

4 אֱלֹהִ֥ים בְּאַרְמְנֹותֶ֗יהָ נֹודַ֥ע לְמִשְׂגָּֽב׃

5 They saw it, then they were amazed. They were dismayed, They hurried away.

5 כִּֽי־הִנֵּ֣ה הַ֭מְּלָכִים נֹֽועֲד֑וּ עָבְר֥וּ יַחְדָּֽו׃

6 Trembling took hold of them there, Pain, as of a woman in travail.

6 הֵ֣מָּה רָ֭אוּ כֵּ֣ן תָּמָ֑הוּ נִבְהֲל֥וּ נֶחְפָּֽזוּ׃

7 With the east wind, you break the ships of Tarshish.

7 רְ֭עָדָה אֲחָזָ֣תַם שָׁ֑ם חִ֝֗יל כַּיֹּולֵֽדָה׃

8 As we have heard, so we have seen, In the city of Yahweh of Hosts, in the city of our God. God will establish it forever. Selah.

8 בְּר֥וּחַ קָדִ֑ים תְּ֝שַׁבֵּ֗ר אֳנִיֹּ֥ות תַּרְשִֽׁישׁ׃

9 We have thought about your loving kindness, God, In the midst of your temple.

9 כַּאֲשֶׁ֤ר שָׁמַ֨עְנוּ׀ כֵּ֤ן רָאִ֗ינוּ בְּעִיר־יְהוָ֣ה צְ֭בָאֹות בְּעִ֣יר אֱלֹהֵ֑ינוּ אֱלֹ֘הִ֤ים יְכֹונְנֶ֖הָ עַד־עֹולָ֣ם סֶֽלָה׃

10 As is your name, God, So is your praise to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is full of righteousness.

10 דִּמִּ֣ינוּ אֱלֹהִ֣ים חַסְדֶּ֑ךָ בְּ֝קֶ֗רֶב הֵיכָלֶֽךָ׃

11 Let Mount Zion be glad! Let the daughters of Judah rejoice, Because of your judgments.

11 כְּשִׁמְךָ֤ אֱלֹהִ֗ים כֵּ֣ן תְּ֭הִלָּתְךָ עַל־קַצְוֵי־אֶ֑רֶץ צֶ֝֗דֶק מָלְאָ֥ה יְמִינֶֽךָ׃

12 Walk about Zion, and go around her. Number its towers;

12 יִשְׂמַ֤ח׀ הַר־צִיֹּ֗ון תָּ֭גֵלְנָה בְּנֹ֣ות יְהוּדָ֑ה לְ֝מַ֗עַן מִשְׁפָּטֶֽיךָ׃

13 Mark well her bulwarks. Consider her palaces, That you may tell it to the next generation.

13 סֹ֣בּוּ צִ֭יֹּון וְהַקִּיפ֑וּהָ סִ֝פְר֗וּ מִגְדָּלֶֽיהָ׃

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

14 שִׁ֤יתוּ לִבְּכֶ֨ם׀ לְֽחֵילָ֗ה פַּסְּג֥וּ אַרְמְנֹותֶ֑יהָ לְמַ֥עַן תְּ֝סַפְּר֗וּ לְדֹ֣ור אַחֲרֹֽון׃
