Salme 46
1 Til Sangmesteren; af Koras Børn; en Sang; til Alamoth.
To the chief music-maker. Of the sons of Korah; put to Alamoth. A Song. God is our harbour and our strength, a very present help in trouble.
2 Gud er vor Tillid og Styrke, en Hjælp i Angester, prøvet til fulde.
For this cause we will have no fear, even though the earth is changed, and though the mountains are moved in the heart of the sea;
3 Derfor ville vi ikke frygte, om end Jorden forandres, og Bjergene synke ned i Havets Dyb;
Though its waters are sounding and troubled, and though the mountains are shaking with their violent motion. (Selah)
4 om end Vandene deri bruse og oprøres, Bjergene bæve for dets Vælde. (Sela)
There is a river whose streams make glad the resting-place of God, the holy place of the tents of the Most High.
5 Men en Strøm med sine Bække glæder Guds Stad, Helligdommen, den Højestes Boliger.
God has taken his place in her; she will not be moved: he will come to her help at the dawn of morning.
6 Gud er midt i den, den skal ikke rokkes; Gud skal hjælpe den, naar Morgenen frembryder.
The nations were angry, the kingdoms were moved; at the sound of his voice the earth became like wax.
7 Hedningerne brusede, Rigerne bevægedes; han udgav sin Røst, Jorden smeltedes.
The Lord of armies is with us; the God of Jacob is our high tower. (Selah)
8 Herren Zebaoth er med os, Jakobs Gud er vor faste Borg. (Sela)
Come, see the works of the Lord, the destruction which he has made in the earth.
9 Kommer, ser Herrens Gerninger, hvorledes han har anrettet Ødelæggelser paa Jorden.
He puts an end to wars over all the earth; by him the bow is broken, and the spear cut in two, and the carriage burned in the fire.
10 Han, som kommer Krigene til at holde op indtil Jordens Ende, sønderbryder Buen og afhugger Spydet, opbrænder Vognene med Ild.
Be at peace in the knowledge that I am God: I will be lifted up among the nations, I will be honoured through all the earth.
11 Lader af og vider, at jeg er Gud, ophøjet iblandt Hedningerne, ophøjet paa Jorden. Herren Zebaoth er med os, Jakobs Gud er vor faste Borg. (Sela)
The Lord of armies is with us; the God of Jacob is our high tower. (Selah)
