Salme 46
1 Til Sangmesteren; af Koras Børn; en Sang; til Alamoth.
“To the chief musician: by the sons of Korach, upon 'Alamoth, a song.” God is our protection and strength, a help in distresses, very readily found.
2 Gud er vor Tillid og Styrke, en Hjælp i Angester, prøvet til fulde.
Therefore will we not fear, even when the earth is transformed, and when mountains are moved into the heart of the seas;
3 Derfor ville vi ikke frygte, om end Jorden forandres, og Bjergene synke ned i Havets Dyb;
[When] the waters thereof roar and foam, when mountains quake before his majesty. (Selah)
4 om end Vandene deri bruse og oprøres, Bjergene bæve for dets Vælde. (Sela)
[There] is a river, its rivulets cause to rejoice the city of God, the sanctuary of the dwellings of the Most High.
5 Men en Strøm med sine Bække glæder Guds Stad, Helligdommen, den Højestes Boliger.
God is in her midst; she shall not be moved: God will ever help her, at the dawning of [her] morning.
6 Gud er midt i den, den skal ikke rokkes; Gud skal hjælpe den, naar Morgenen frembryder.
Nations rage, kingdoms are moved: he letteth his voice be heard, the earth melteth away.
7 Hedningerne brusede, Rigerne bevægedes; han udgav sin Røst, Jorden smeltedes.
The Lord of hosts is with us; a defense unto us is the God of Jacob. (Selah)
8 Herren Zebaoth er med os, Jakobs Gud er vor faste Borg. (Sela)
Come, look at the deeds of the Lord, who hath made desolations on the earth.
9 Kommer, ser Herrens Gerninger, hvorledes han har anrettet Ødelæggelser paa Jorden.
He causeth wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in pieces; he burneth wagons in the fire.
10 Han, som kommer Krigene til at holde op indtil Jordens Ende, sønderbryder Buen og afhugger Spydet, opbrænder Vognene med Ild.
Leave off, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted on 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 hosts is with us; a defence unto us is the God of Jacob. (Selah)
