Psalms 48

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	VULGATA
1 A psalm of the Korahites. A song.	1 In finem, filiis Core. Psalmus.
2 Great is the LORD and highly praised in the city of our God: The holy mountain,	2 Audite hæc, omnes gentes ; auribus percipite, omnes qui habitatis orbem :
3 fairest of heights, the joy of all the earth, Mount Zion, the heights of Zaphon, the city of the great king.	3 quique terrigenæ et filii hominum, simul in unum dives et pauper.
4 God is its citadel, renowned as a stronghold.	4 Os meum loquetur sapientiam, et meditatio cordis mei prudentiam.
5 See! The kings assembled, together they invaded.	5 Inclinabo in parabolam aurem meam ; aperiam in psalterio propositionem meam.
6 When they looked they were astounded; terrified, they were put to flight!	6 Cur timebo in die mala ? iniquitas calcanei mei circumdabit me.
7 Trembling seized them there, anguish, like a woman's labor,	7 Qui confidunt in virtute sua, et in multitudine divitiarum suarum, gloriantur.
8 As when the east wind wrecks the ships of Tarshish!	8 Frater non redimit, redimet homo : non dabit Deo placationem suam,
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 et pretium redemptionis animæ suæ. Et laborabit in æternum ;
10 O God, within your temple we ponder your steadfast love.	10 et vivet adhuc in finem.
11 Like your name, O God, your praise reaches the ends of the earth. Your right hand is fully victorious.	11 Non videbit interitum, cum viderit sapientes morientes : simul insipiens et stultus peribunt. Et relinquent alienis divitias suas,
12 Mount Zion is glad! The cities of Judah rejoice because of your saving deeds!	12 et sepulchra eorum domus illorum in æternum ; tabernacula eorum in progenie et progenie : vocaverunt nomina sua in terris suis.
13 Go about Zion, walk all around it, note the number of its towers.	13 Et homo, cum in honore esset, non intellexit. Comparatus est jumentis insipientibus, et similis factus est illis.
14 Consider the ramparts, examine its citadels, that you may tell future generations:	14 Hæc via illorum scandalum ipsis ; et postea in ore suo complacebunt.
15 "Yes, so mighty is God, our God who leads us always!"	15 Sicut oves in inferno positi sunt : mors depascet eos. Et dominabuntur eorum justi in matutino ; et auxilium eorum veterascet in inferno a gloria eorum.
	16 Verumtamen Deus redimet animam meam de manu inferi, cum acceperit me.
	17 Ne timueris cum dives factus fuerit homo, et cum multiplicata fuerit gloria domus ejus :
	18 quoniam, cum interierit, non sumet omnia, neque descendet cum eo gloria ejus.
	19 Quia anima ejus in vita ipsius benedicetur ; confitebitur tibi cum benefeceris ei.
	20 Introibit usque in progenies patrum suorum ; et usque in æternum non videbit lumen.
	21 Homo, cum in honore esset, non intellexit. Comparatus est jumentis insipientibus, et similis factus est illis.
