A Song. A Psalm by the sons of Korah. Great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised, in the city of our God, in his holy mountain. (MT 48:2; LXX 47:1; LXX 47:2; Rahlfs 47:1; Rahlfs 47:2)
שִׁ֥יר מִ֝זְמוֹר לִבְנֵי־קֹֽרַח׃
2Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion, on the north sides, the city of the great King. (MT 48:3; LXX 47:3; Rahlfs 47:3)
גָּ֘ד֤וֹל יְהוָ֣ה וּמְהֻלָּ֣ל מְאֹ֑ד בְּעִ֥יר אֱ֝לֹהֵ֗ינוּ הַר־קָדְשֽׁוֹ׃
3God has shown himself in her citadels as a refuge. (MT 48:4; LXX 47:4; Rahlfs 47:4)
יְפֵ֥ה נוֹף֮ מְשׂ֪וֹשׂ כָּל־הָ֫אָ֥רֶץ הַר־צִ֭יּוֹן יַרְכְּתֵ֣י צָפ֑וֹן קִ֝רְיַ֗ת מֶ֣לֶךְ רָֽב׃
4For, behold, the kings assembled themselves, they passed by together. (MT 48:5; LXX 47:5; Rahlfs 47:5)
אֱלֹהִ֥ים בְּאַרְמְנוֹתֶ֗יהָ נוֹדַ֥ע לְמִשְׂגָּֽב׃
5They saw it, then they were amazed. They were dismayed. They hurried away. (MT 48:6; LXX 47:6; Rahlfs 47:6)
כִּֽי־הִנֵּ֣ה הַ֭מְּלָכִים נֽוֹעֲד֑וּ עָבְר֥וּ יַחְדָּֽו׃
6Trembling took hold of them there, pain, as of a woman in travail. (MT 48:7; Rahlfs 47:7)
הֵ֣מָּה רָ֭אוּ כֵּ֣ן תָּמָ֑הוּ נִבְהֲל֥וּ נֶחְפָּֽזוּ׃
7With the east wind, you break the ships of Tarshish. (MT 48:8; LXX 47:8; Rahlfs 47:8)
רְ֭עָדָה אֲחָזָ֣תַם שָׁ֑ם חִ֝֗יל כַּיּוֹלֵֽדָה׃
8As 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. (MT 48:9; LXX 47:9; Rahlfs 47:9)
בְּר֥וּחַ קָדִ֑ים תְּ֝שַׁבֵּ֗ר אֳנִיּ֥וֹת תַּרְשִֽׁישׁ׃
9We have thought about your loving kindness, God, in the middle of your temple. (MT 48:10; LXX 47:10; Rahlfs 47:10)
כַּאֲשֶׁ֤ר שָׁמַ֨עְנוּ ׀ כֵּ֤ן רָאִ֗ינוּ בְּעִיר־יְהוָ֣ה צְ֭בָאוֹת בְּעִ֣יר אֱלֹהֵ֑ינוּ אֱלֹ֘הִ֤ים יְכוֹנְנֶ֖הָ עַד־עוֹלָ֣ם סֶֽלָה׃
10As is your name, God, so is your praise to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is full of righteousness. (MT 48:11; LXX 47:11; Rahlfs 47:11)
דִּמִּ֣ינוּ אֱלֹהִ֣ים חַסְדֶּ֑ךָ בְּ֝קֶ֗רֶב הֵיכָלֶֽךָ׃
11Let Mount Zion be glad! Let the daughters of Judah rejoice because of your judgments. (MT 48:12; LXX 47:12; Rahlfs 47:12)
כְּשִׁמְךָ֤ אֱלֹהִ֗ים כֵּ֣ן תְּ֭הִלָּתְךָ עַל־קַצְוֵי־אֶ֑רֶץ צֶ֝֗דֶק מָלְאָ֥ה יְמִינֶֽךָ׃
12Walk about Zion, and go around her. Number its towers. (MT 48:13; LXX 47:13; Rahlfs 47:13)
יִשְׂמַ֤ח ׀ הַר־צִיּ֗וֹן תָּ֭גֵלְנָה בְּנ֣וֹת יְהוּדָ֑ה לְ֝מַ֗עַן מִשְׁפָּטֶֽיךָ׃
13Notice her bulwarks. Consider her palaces, that you may tell it to the next generation. (MT 48:14; LXX 47:14; Rahlfs 47:14)
סֹ֣בּוּ צִ֭יּוֹן וְהַקִּיפ֑וּהָ סִ֝פְר֗וּ מִגְדָּלֶֽיהָ׃
14For this God is our God forever and ever. He will be our guide even to death. (MT 48:15; LXX 47:15; Rahlfs 47:15)
שִׁ֤יתוּ לִבְּכֶ֨ם ׀ לְֽחֵילָ֗ה פַּסְּג֥וּ אַרְמְנוֹתֶ֑יהָ לְמַ֥עַן תְּ֝סַפְּר֗וּ לְד֣וֹר אַחֲרֽוֹן׃
