Psalm 48

Menge Bibel

1 Ein Lied, ein Psalm von den Korahiten (42,1).2 Groß ist der HERR und hoch zu preisen in unsers Gottes Stadt, auf seinem heiligen Berge.3 Herrlich ragt empor, die Wonne der ganzen Erde[1], der Zionsberg, der wahre Götterberg, die Stadt eines[2] großen Königs.4 Gott hat in ihren Palästen sich kundgetan als eine feste Burg.5 Denn siehe, die Könige hatten sich versammelt[3], waren vereint herangezogen;6 doch als sie’s sahen, waren sie betroffen[4], erschraken, flohen bestürzt davon;7 Zittern erfaßte sie dort, Angst wie ein Weib in Wehen.8 Durch einen Oststurm zertrümmertest du die stolzen Tharsisschiffe (Jes 2,16).9 Wie wir’s gehört, so haben wir’s nun gesehen in der Stadt des HERRN der Heerscharen, unsres Gottes Stadt: Gott läßt sie auf ewig feststehn. SELA.10 Wir gedenken, o Gott, deiner Gnade inmitten deines Tempels.11 Wie dein Name, o Gott, so reicht auch dein Ruhm bis an die Enden der Erde; mit Gerechtigkeit ist deine Rechte gefüllt.12 Des freue sich der Zionsberg, jubeln mögen die Töchter Judas um deiner Gerichte willen!13 Umkreist den Zion, umwandelt ihn rings und zählt seine Türme;14 betrachtet genau seine Bollwerke, mustert[5] seine Paläste, damit ihr dem künftgen Geschlecht erzählet,15 daß dies ist Gott, unser Gott: immer und ewig wird er uns führen [bis zum Tode].

Psalm 48

New International Reader’s Version

von Biblica
1 The LORD is great. He is really worthy of praise. Praise him in the city of our God, his holy mountain.2 Mount Zion is high and beautiful. It brings joy to everyone on earth. Mount Zion is like the highest parts of Mount Zaphon. It is the city of the Great King.3 God is there to keep it safe. He has shown himself to be like a fort to the city.4 Many kings joined forces. They entered Israel together.5 But when they saw Mount Zion, they were amazed. They ran away in terror.6 Trembling took hold of them. They felt pain like a woman giving birth.7 LORD, you destroyed them like ships of Tarshish that were torn apart by an east wind.8 What we heard we have also seen. We have seen it in the city of the LORD who rules over all. We have seen it in the city of our God. We have heard and seen that God makes it secure for ever.9 God, inside your temple we think about your faithful love.10 God, your fame reaches from one end of the earth to the other. So people praise you from one end of the earth to the other. You use your power to do what is right.11 Mount Zion is filled with joy. The villages of Judah are glad. That’s because you judge fairly.12 Walk all around Zion. Count its towers.13 Think carefully about its outer walls. Just look at how safe it is! Then you can tell its people that God keeps them safe.14 This God is our God for ever and ever. He will be our guide to the very end.

1 A Song. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah. Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised in the city of our God! His holy mountain, (Ps 2,6; Ps 42,1; Ps 46,1; Ps 46,4; Ps 87,1; Ps 96,4; Ps 145,3; Jes 2,3; Mi 4,1; Sach 8,3)2 beautiful in elevation, is the joy of all the earth, Mount Zion, in the far north, the city of the great King. (Ps 50,2; Kla 2,15; Hes 20,6; Mt 5,35)3 Within her citadels God has made himself known as a fortress.4 For behold, the kings assembled; they came on together. (2Sam 10,6)5 As soon as they saw it, they were astounded; they were in panic; they took to flight.6 Trembling took hold of them there, anguish as of a woman in labor. (2Mo 15,15; Jes 13,8; Hos 13,13)7 By the east wind you shattered the ships of Tarshish. (1Kön 10,22; 1Kön 22,48; Jer 18,17; Hes 27,26)8 As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God, which God will establish forever. (Ps 48,1; Ps 87,5; Jes 2,2; Mi 4,1)9 We have thought on your steadfast love, O God, in the midst of your temple. (Ps 26,3; Ps 40,10)10 As your name, O God, so your praise reaches to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is filled with righteousness. (2Mo 34,5; 5Mo 28,58; Ps 22,27; Ps 113,3; Mal 1,11; Mal 1,14)11 Let Mount Zion be glad! Let the daughters of Judah rejoice because of your judgments! (Ps 97,8)12 Walk about Zion, go around her, number her towers,13 consider well her ramparts, go through her citadels, that you may tell the next generation (Ps 78,4; Ps 122,7)14 that this is God, our God forever and ever. He will guide us forever.[1] (Ps 23,3)
