Psalm 48 (WEBP)
[1] Great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised, in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.
[2] Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion, on the north sides, the city of the great King.
[3] God has shown himself in her citadels as a refuge.
[4] For, behold, the kings assembled themselves, they passed by together.
[5] They saw it, then they were amazed. They were dismayed. They hurried away.
[6] Trembling took hold of them there, pain, as of a woman in travail.
[7] With the east wind, you break the ships of Tarshish.
[8] As we have heard, so we have seen, in the city of Yahweh of Armies, in the city of our God. God will establish it forever. Selah.
[9] We have thought about your loving kindness, God, in the middle of your temple.
[10] As is your name, God, so is your praise to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is full of righteousness.
[11] Let Mount Zion be glad! Let the daughters of Judah rejoice because of your judgments.
[12] Walk about Zion, and go around her. Number its towers.
[13] Notice her bulwarks. Consider her palaces, that you may tell it to the next generation.
[14] For this God is our God forever and ever. He will be our guide even to death.

[1] [47:1] ψαλμος ωδης τοις υιοις κορε δευτερα σαββατου [47:2] μεγας κυριος και αινετος σφοδρα εν πολει του θεου ημων ορει αγιω αυτου
[2] [47:3] ευ ριζων αγαλλιαματι πασης της γης ορη σιων τα πλευρα του βορρα η πολις του βασιλεως του μεγαλου
[3] [47:4] ο θεος εν ταις βαρεσιν αυτης γινωσκεται οταν αντιλαμβανηται αυτης
[4] [47:5] οτι ιδου οι βασιλεις συνηχθησαν ηλθοσαν επι το αυτο
[5] [47:6] αυτοι ιδοντες ουτως εθαυμασαν εταραχθησαν εσαλευθησαν
[6] [47:7] τρομος επελαβετο αυτων εκει ωδινες ως τικτουσης
[7] [47:8] εν πνευματι βιαιω συντριψεις πλοια θαρσις
[8] [47:9] καθαπερ ηκουσαμεν ουτως ειδομεν εν πολει κυριου των δυναμεων εν πολει του θεου ημων ο θεος εθεμελιωσεν αυτην εις τον αιωνα διαψαλμα
[9] [47:10] υπελαβομεν ο θεος το ελεος σου εν μεσω του ναου σου
[10] [47:11] κατα το ονομα σου ο θεος ουτως και η αινεσις σου επι τα περατα της γης δικαιοσυνης πληρης η δεξια σου
[11] [47:12] ευφρανθητω το ορος σιων αγαλλιασθωσαν αι θυγατερες της ιουδαιας ενεκεν των κριματων σου κυριε
[12] [47:13] κυκλωσατε σιων και περιλαβετε αυτην διηγησασθε εν τοις πυργοις αυτης
[13] [47:14] θεσθε τας καρδιας υμων εις την δυναμιν αυτης και καταδιελεσθε τας βαρεις αυτης οπως αν διηγησησθε εις γενεαν ετεραν
[14] [47:15] οτι ουτος εστιν ο θεος ο θεος ημων εις τον αιωνα και εις τον αιωνα του αιωνος αυτος ποιμανει ημας εις τους αιωνας
