Psalms 48

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	NOVA VULGATA
1 A psalm of the Korahites. A song.	1 Canticum. Psalmus. Filiorum Core.
2 Great is the LORD and highly praised in the city of our God: The holy mountain,	2 Magnus Dominus et laudabilis nimis in civitate Dei nostri.
3 fairest of heights, the joy of all the earth, Mount Zion, the heights of Zaphon, the city of the great king.	3 Mons sanctus eius collis speciosus, exsultatio universae terrae. Mons Sion, extrema aquilonis, civitas regis magni.
4 God is its citadel, renowned as a stronghold.	4 Deus in domibus eius notus factus est ut refugium.
5 See! The kings assembled, together they invaded.	5 Quoniam ecce reges congregati sunt, convenerunt in unum.
6 When they looked they were astounded; terrified, they were put to flight!	6 Ipsi cum viderunt, sic admirati sunt, conturbati sunt, diffugerunt;
7 Trembling seized them there, anguish, like a woman's labor,	7 illic tremor apprehendit eos, dolores ut parturientis.
8 As when the east wind wrecks the ships of Tarshish!	8 In spiritu orientis conteres naves Tharsis.
9 What we had heard we now see in the city of the LORD of hosts, In the city of our God, founded to last forever. Selah	9 Sicut audivimus, sic vidimus in civitate Domini virtutum, in civitate Dei nostri; Deus fundavit eam in aeternum.
10 O God, within your temple we ponder your steadfast love.	10 Recogitamus, Deus, misericordiam tuam in medio templi tui.
11 Like your name, O God, your praise reaches the ends of the earth. Your right hand is fully victorious.	11 Secundum nomen tuum, Deus, sic et laus tua in fines terrae; iustitia plena est dextera tua.
12 Mount Zion is glad! The cities of Judah rejoice because of your saving deeds!	12 Laetetur mons Sion, et exsultent filiae Iudae propter iudicia tua.
13 Go about Zion, walk all around it, note the number of its towers.	13 Circumdate Sion et complectimini eam, numerate turres eius.
14 Consider the ramparts, examine its citadels, that you may tell future generations:	14 Ponite corda vestra in virtute eius et percurrite domos eius, ut enarretis in progenie altera.
15 "Yes, so mighty is God, our God who leads us always!"	15 Quoniam hic est Deus, Deus noster in aeternum et in saeculum saeculi; ipse ducet nos in saecula.
