Psalms 48

NEW JERUSALEM	NOVA VULGATA
1 [Song Psalm Of the sons of Korah] Great is Yahweh and most worthy of praise in the city of our God,the holy mountain,	1 Canticum. Psalmus. Filiorum Core.
2 towering in beauty, the joy of the whole world: Mount Zion in the heart of the north, the settlement ofthe great king;	2 Magnus Dominus et laudabilis nimis in civitate Dei nostri.
3 God himself among its palaces has proved himself its bulwark.	3 Mons sanctus eius collis speciosus, exsultatio universae terrae. Mons Sion, extrema aquilonis, civitas regis magni.
4 For look, kings made al iance, together they advanced;	4 Deus in domibus eius notus factus est ut refugium.
5 without a second glance, when they saw, they panicked and fled away.	5 Quoniam ecce reges congregati sunt, convenerunt in unum.
6 Trembling seized them on the spot, pains like those of a woman in labour;	6 Ipsi cum viderunt, sic admirati sunt, conturbati sunt, diffugerunt;
7 it was the east wind, that wrecker of ships from Tarshish.	7 illic tremor apprehendit eos, dolores ut parturientis.
8 What we had heard we saw for ourselves in the city of our God, in the city of Yahweh Sabaoth, whichGod has established for ever.Pause	8 In spiritu orientis conteres naves Tharsis.
9 We reflect on your faithful love, God, in your temple!	9 Sicut audivimus, sic vidimus in civitate Domini virtutum, in civitate Dei nostri; Deus fundavit eam in aeternum.
10 Both your name and your praise, God, are over the whole wide world. Your right hand is ful of savingjustice,	10 Recogitamus, Deus, misericordiam tuam in medio templi tui.
11 Mount Zion rejoices, the daughters of Judah delight because of your saving justice.	11 Secundum nomen tuum, Deus, sic et laus tua in fines terrae; iustitia plena est dextera tua.
12 Go round Zion, walk right through her, count her bastions,	12 Laetetur mons Sion, et exsultent filiae Iudae propter iudicia tua.
13 admire her walls, examine her palaces, to tel future generations	13 Circumdate Sion et complectimini eam, numerate turres eius.
14 that such is God; our God for ever and ever, he is our guide!	14 Ponite corda vestra in virtute eius et percurrite domos eius, ut enarretis in progenie altera.
	15 Quoniam hic est Deus, Deus noster in aeternum et in saeculum saeculi; ipse ducet nos in saecula.
