Mezmurlar 47

¹Korah oğullarının bir şarkı mezmuru; haftanın ikinci günü için.

²Rab büyüktür ve Tanrımızın kentinde, O'nun kutsal dağında son derece övülmeye layıktır.

³Bütün yeryüzünün köklü coşkusu olan Siyon dağları, kuzeyin yamaçları, büyük Kral'ın kentidir.

⁴Tanrı onun saraylarında, onu sahiplenip koruduğunda kendisini gösterir.

⁵Çünkü işte, krallar toplandı ve bir araya geldiler.

⁶Onlar bunu görünce şaşakaldılar, dehşete düştüler ve sarsıldılar.

⁷Orada onları bir titreme yakaladı, doğum yapan bir kadınınki gibi sancılar.

⁸Şiddetli bir rüzgarla parçalayacaksın Tarşiş gemilerini.

⁹Nasıl duyduysak, öyle de gördük orduların Rabbinin kentinde, Tanrımızın kentinde; Tanrı onu sonsuza dek sarsılmaz kıldı.

¹⁰Ey Tanrı, senin merhametini kabul ettik senin halkının ortasında.

¹¹Adın gibi, ey Tanrı, övgün de yeryüzünün uçlarına dek ulaşır; sağ elin adaletle doludur.

¹²Siyon dağı sevinsin, Yahudiye'nin beldeleri coşsun senin yargıların yüzünden, ey Rab.

¹³Siyon'un çevresini dolaşın ve onu kuşatın, onun kulelerinde olanları aktarın.

¹⁴Yüreğinizi onun gücüne verin ve saraylarını bölüştürün, öyle ki bunu gelecek kuşağa anlatasınız.

¹⁵Çünkü bu Tanrı, sonsuza dek ve sonsuzluklar boyunca bizim Tanrımızdır; O bizi çağlar boyunca güdecektir.

¹Ψαλμὸς ᾠδῆς τοῖς υἱοῖς Κορέ· δευτέρα σαββάτου. -

²ΜΕΓΑΣ Κύριος καὶ αἰνετὸς σφόδρα ἐν πόλει τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν, ἐν ὄρει ἁγίῳ αὐτοῦ,

³εὐρίζῳ ἀγαλλιάματι πάσης τῆς γῆς. ὄρη Σιών, τὰ πλευρὰ τοῦ Βορρᾶ, ἡ πόλις τοῦ βασιλέως τοῦ μεγάλου.

⁴ὁ Θεὸς ἐν τοῖς βάρεσιν αὐτῆς γινώσκεται, ὅταν ἀντιλαμβάνηται αὐτῆς.

⁵ὅτι ἰδοὺ οἱ βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς συνήχθησαν, ἤλθοσαν ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό·

⁶αὐτοὶ ἰδόντες οὕτως ἐθαύμασαν, ἐταράχθησαν, ἐσαλεύθησαν,

⁷τρόμος ἐπελάβετο αὐτῶν, ἐκεῖ ὠδῖνες ὡς τικτούσης.

⁸ἐν πνεύματι βιαίῳ συντρίψεις πλοῖα Θαρσίς.

⁹καθάπερ ἠκούσαμεν, οὕτω καὶ εἴδομεν ἐν πόλει Κυρίου τῶν δυνάμεων, ἐν πόλει τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν· ὁ Θεὸς ἐθεμελίωσεν αὐτὴν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα. (διάψαλμα).

¹⁰ὑπελάβομεν, ὁ Θεός, τὸ ἔλεός σου ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ λαοῦ σου.

¹¹κατὰ τὸ ὄνομά σου, ὁ Θεός, οὕτω καὶ ἡ αἴνεσίς σου ἐπὶ τὰ πέρατα τῆς γῆς· δικαιοσύνης πλήρης ἡ δεξιά σου.

¹²εὐφρανθήτω τὸ ὄρος Σιών, ἀγαλλιάσθωσαν αἱ θυγατέρες τῆς ᾿Ιουδαίας ἕνεκεν κριμάτων σου, Κύριε.

¹³κυκλώσατε Σιὼν καὶ περιλάβετε αὐτήν, διηγήσασθε ἐν τοῖς πύργοις αὐτῆς,

¹⁴θέσθε τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν εἰς τὴν δύναμιν αὐτῆς καὶ καταδιέλεσθε τὰς βάρεις αὐτῆς, ὅπως ἂν διηγήσησθε εἰς γενεὰν ἑτέραν.

¹⁵ὅτι οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος· αὐτὸς ποιμανεῖ ἡμᾶς εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας.

¹[A Psalm of praise for the sons of Core on the second [day] of the week.]

²Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.

³The city of the great King is well planted [on] the mountains of Sion, with the joy of the whole earth, [on] the sides of the north.

⁴God is known in her palaces, when he undertakes to help her.

⁵For, behold the kings of the earth were assembled, they came together.

⁶They saw, and so they wondered: they were troubled, they were moved.

⁷Trembling took hold on them: there were the pangs as of a woman in travail.

⁸Thou wilt break the ships of Tharsis with a vehement wind.

⁹As we have heard, so have we also seen, in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God: God has founded it for ever. Pause.

¹⁰We have thought of thy mercy, O God, in the midst of thy people.

¹¹According to thy name, O God, so is also thy praise to the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.

¹²Let mount Sion rejoice, let the daughters of Judaea exult, because of thy judgments, O Lord.

¹³Go round about Sion, and encompass her: tell ye her towers.

¹⁴Mark ye well her strength, and observe her palaces; that ye may tell the next generation.

¹⁵For this is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide for evermore.
