Psalms 48
Below each verse in the original comes an approximate reading, in italics, for anyone who wants to pronounce the text aloud. It is not academic transliteration: it does not mark stress or settle the cases that depend on grammatical analysis, and the four-letter Name is read “Yahweh”, by the founder’s decision — the Hebrew pointing instructs saying “Adonai”, and Portuguese Bibles render it “SENHOR”.
The numbering differs in this chapter. The original has a different number of verses from the Portuguese — this happens in 134 of the 1,189 chapters, mostly in the Psalms, because the Hebrew superscription (“A psalm of David”) is counted as verse 1. That is why the two texts appear separately, each with its own numbering, instead of paired: pairing here would put a verse next to the wrong one.
1Cântico e salmo, dos filhos de Coré: O SENHOR [é] grande e muito louvável, na cidade de nosso Deus, [no] monte de sua santidade.
2Belo de se ver e alegria de toda a terra [é] o monte de Sião, nas terras do norte; a cidade do grande Rei.
3Deus [está] em seus palácios, [e] é conhecido como alto refúgio.
4Porque eis que os reis se reuniram; eles juntamente passaram
5Eles, [quando] a viram, ficaram maravilhados; assombraram-se, fugiram apressadamente.
6Ali o temor os tomou, [e sentiram] dores como as de parto.
7Com o vento do oriente tu quebras os navios de Társis.
8Assim como nós ouvimos, também vimos na cidade do SENHOR dos exércitos, na cidade do nosso Deus; Deus a firmará para sempre. (Selá)
9Deus, nós reconhecemos tua bondade no meio de teu templo.
10Conforme o teu nome, ó Deus, assim é o louvor a ti, até os confins da terra; tua mão direita está cheia de justiça.
11Alegre-se o monte de Sião, fiquem contentes as filhas de Judá, por causa de teus juízos.
12Andai ao redor de Sião, e a circundai; contai suas torres.
13Ponde vosso coração em seus muros de defesa, prestai atenção em seus palácios, para que conteis deles à geração seguinte.
14Porque este Deus [é] nosso Deus para todo o sempre; ele nos acompanhará até a morte.
