Psalmi 46

1 Zborovođi. Sinova Korahovih. Po napjevu “Djevice”. Pjesma. Bog nam je zaklon i utvrda, pomoćnik spreman u nevolji.

For the leader. Of the Korahites, on alamoth. A song. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

2 Stoga, ne bojmo se kad se ljulja zemlja, kad se bregovi ruše u more.

So we have no fear, though earth should change, and the hills totter into the heart of the ocean.

3 Nek' buče i bjesne valovi morski, nek' bregovi dršću od žestine njihove: s nama je Jahve nad Vojskama, naša je utvrda Bog Jakovljev!

Let its waters roar and foam, let the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. On our side is the Lord of hosts, our sure defence is the God of Jacob. (Selah)

4 Rijeka i rukavci njezini vesele Grad Božji, presveti šator Višnjega.

A river there is, whose streams make glad God’s city, the home the Most High has hallowed.

5 Bog je sred njega, poljuljat se neće, od rane zore Bog mu pomaže.

God is within her: she cannot be shaken. God helps her at the turn of the morning.

6 Ma bješnjeli puci, rušila se carstva, kad glas njegov zagrmi, zemlja se rastopi:

Nations roared, kingdoms tottered: he uttered his voice, earth melted away.

7 s nama je Jahve nad Vojskama, naša je utvrda Bog Jakovljev!

On our side is the Lord of hosts, our sure defence is the God of Jacob.

8 Dođite, gledajte djela Jahvina, strahote koje on na zemlji učini.

Come and see what the Lord has done, working appallingly in the earth.

9 Do nakraj zemlje on ratove prekida, lukove krši i lomi koplja, štitove ognjem sažiže.

He stills wars to the ends of the earth – breaking the bow, snapping the spear, burning the chariots in the fire.

10 Prestanite i znajte da sam ja Bog, uzvišen nad pucima, nad svom zemljom uzvišen!

‘Refrain; and know surely that I am God, high over the nations, high over the world.’

11 S nama je Jahve nad Vojskama, naša je utvrda Bog Jakovljev!

On our side is the Lord of Hosts, our sure defence is the God of Jacob. (Selah)
