Psalms 48

Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness.

عَظِيمٌ هُوَ الرَّبُّ وَحَمِيدٌ جِدًّا فِي مَدِينَةِ إِلهِنَا، جَبَلِ قُدْسِهِ.

Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.

جَمِيلُ الارْتِفَاعِ، فَرَحُ كُلِّ الأَرْضِ، جَبَلُ صِهْيَوْنَ. فَرَحُ أَقَاصِي الشِّمَالِ، مَدِينَةُ الْمَلِكِ الْعَظِيمِ.

God is known in her palaces for a refuge.

اَللهُ فِي قُصُورِهَا يُعْرَفُ مَلْجَأً.

For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together.

لأَنَّهُ هُوَذَا الْمُلُوكُ اجْتَمَعُوا. مَضَوْا جَمِيعًا.

They saw it, and so they marvelled; they were troubled, and hasted away.

لَمَّا رَأَوْا بُهِتُوا، ارْتَاعُوا، فَرُّوا.

Fear took hold upon them there, and pain, as of a woman in travail.

أَخَذَتْهُمُ الرِّعْدَةُ هُنَاكَ، وَالْمَخَاضُ كَوَالِدَةٍ.

Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.

بِرِيحٍ شَرْقِيَّةٍ تَكْسِرُ سُفُنَ تَرْشِيشَ.

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.

كَمَا سَمِعْنَا هكَذَا رَأَيْنَا في مَدِينَةِ رَبِّ الْجُنُودِ، فِي مَدِينَةِ إِلهِنَا. اللهُ يُثَبِّتُهَا إِلَى الأَبَدِ. سِلاَهْ.

We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple.

ذَكَرْنَا يَا اَللهُ رَحْمَتَكَ فِي وَسَطِ هَيْكَلِكَ.

According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.

نَظِيرُ اسْمِكَ يَا اَللهُ تَسْبِيحُكَ إِلَى أَقَاصِي الأَرْضِ. يَمِينُكَ مَلآنَةٌ بِرًّا.

Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments.

يَفْرَحُ جَبَلُ صِهْيَوْنَ، تَبْتَهِجُ بَنَاتُ يَهُوذَا مِنْ أَجْلِ أَحْكَامِكَ.

Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers thereof.

طُوفُوا بِصِهْيَوْنَ، وَدُورُوا حَوْلَهَا. عُدُّوا أَبْرَاجَهَا.

Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following.

ضَعُوا قُلُوبَكُمْ عَلَى مَتَارِسِهَا. تَأَمَّلُوا قُصُورَهَا لِكَيْ تُحَدِّثُوا بِهَا جِيلاً آخَرَ.

For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.

لأَنَّ اللهَ هذَا هُوَ إِلهُنَا إِلَى الدَّهْرِ وَالأَبَدِ. هُوَ يَهْدِينَا حَتَّى إِلَى الْمَوْتِ.
