Sálmarnir 48
Icelandic Bible
48 Ljóð. Kóraítasálmur.
2 Mikill er Drottinn og mjög vegsamlegur í borg vors Guðs, á sínu helga fjalli.
3 Yndisleg rís hún, gleði alls landsins, Síonarhæð, yst í norðri, borg hins mikla konungs.
4 Guð hefir í höllum hennar kunngjört sig sem vígi.
5 Því sjá, konungarnir áttu með sér stefnu, héldu fram saman.
6 Óðara en þeir sáu, urðu þeir agndofa, skelfdust, flýðu.
7 Felmtur greip þá samstundis, angist sem jóðsjúka konu.
8 Með austanvindinum brýtur þú Tarsis-knörru.
9 Eins og vér höfum heyrt, svo höfum vér séð í borg Drottins hersveitanna, í borg vors Guðs. Guð lætur hana standa að eilífu. [Sela]
10 Guð, vér ígrundum elsku þína inni í musteri þínu.
11 Eins og nafn þitt, Guð, svo hljómi lofgjörð þín til endimarka jarðar. Hægri hönd þín er full réttlætis.
12 Síonfjall gleðst, Júdadætur fagna vegna dóma þinna.
13 Kringið um Síon, gangið umhverfis hana, teljið turna hennar.
14 Hyggið að múrgirðing hennar, skoðið hallir hennar, til þess að þér getið sagt komandi kynslóð,
15 að slíkur sé Drottinn, Guð vor. Um aldur og ævi mun hann leiða oss.
Psalm 48
New International Version
Psalm 48
New International Version
Psalm 48[a]
A song. A psalm of the Sons of Korah.
1 Great is the Lord,(A) and most worthy of praise,(B)
in the city of our God,(C) his holy mountain.(D)
2 Beautiful(E) in its loftiness,
the joy of the whole earth,
like the heights of Zaphon[b](F) is Mount Zion,(G)
the city of the Great King.(H)
3 God is in her citadels;(I)
he has shown himself to be her fortress.(J)
4 When the kings joined forces,
when they advanced together,(K)
5 they saw her and were astounded;
they fled in terror.(L)
6 Trembling seized(M) them there,
pain like that of a woman in labor.(N)
7 You destroyed them like ships of Tarshish(O)
shattered by an east wind.(P)
8 As we have heard,
so we have seen
in the city of the Lord Almighty,
in the city of our God:
God makes her secure
forever.[c](Q)
9 Within your temple, O God,
we meditate(R) on your unfailing love.(S)
10 Like your name,(T) O God,
your praise reaches to the ends of the earth;(U)
your right hand is filled with righteousness.
11 Mount Zion rejoices,
the villages of Judah are glad
because of your judgments.(V)
12 Walk about Zion, go around her,
count her towers,(W)
13 consider well her ramparts,(X)
view her citadels,(Y)
that you may tell of them
to the next generation.(Z)
14 For this God is our God for ever and ever;
he will be our guide(AA) even to the end.
