⁴For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together.

⁴(48-5) Lihatlah, raja-raja berkumpul; mereka datang hendak menyerbu.

⁵They saw it, and so they marvelled; they were troubled, and hasted away.

⁵(48-6) Tapi melihat bukit itu, mereka tercengang; mereka gempar dan lari kebingungan.

⁶Fear took hold upon them there, and pain, as of a woman in travail.

⁶(48-7) Di sana mereka gemetar ketakutan dan kesakitan, seperti wanita yang mau melahirkan,

⁷Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.

⁷(48-8) seperti kapal yang hancur dalam topan.

⁸As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. Selah.

⁸(48-9) Seperti yang kita dengar, kini kita melihatnya, di Kota TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa. Kota itu adalah Kota Allah kita, Ia membelanya untuk selama-lamanya.

¹⁰(48-11) Nama-Mu termasyhur dan dipuji di seluruh bumi, Engkau memerintah dengan adil.

¹⁴For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.

¹⁴(48-15) "Dialah Allah, Allah kita untuk selama-lamanya, Dia akan memimpin kita sampai kekal."
