Salme 46
1 Til Sangmesteren; af Koras Børn; en Sang; til Alamoth.
“For the leader of the music. Of, or for, the sons of Korah. To be sung in the manner, or with the voice, of virgins.” God is our refuge and strength; An ever present help in trouble.
2 Gud er vor Tillid og Styrke, en Hjælp i Angester, prøvet til fulde.
Therefore will we not fear, though the earth be changed; Though the mountains tremble 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 roar and be troubled, And the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. (Pause)
4 om end Vandene deri bruse og oprøres, Bjergene bæve for dets Vælde. (Sela)
A river with its streams shall make glad the city of God, The holy dwelling-place of the Most High.
5 Men en Strøm med sine Bække glæder Guds Stad, Helligdommen, den Højestes Boliger.
God is the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God will help her, and that full early.
6 Gud er midt i den, den skal ikke rokkes; Gud skal hjælpe den, naar Morgenen frembryder.
The nations raged; kingdoms were moved; He uttered his voice, the earth melted.
7 Hedningerne brusede, Rigerne bevægedes; han udgav sin Røst, Jorden smeltedes.
The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. (Pause)
8 Herren Zebaoth er med os, Jakobs Gud er vor faste Borg. (Sela)
Come, behold the doings of the LORD; What desolations he hath made in the earth!
9 Kommer, ser Herrens Gerninger, hvorledes han har anrettet Ødelæggelser paa Jorden.
He causeth wars to cease to the end of the earth; He hath broken the bow, and snapped the spear asunder, And burned the chariots in fire.
10 Han, som kommer Krigene til at holde op indtil Jordens Ende, sønderbryder Buen og afhugger Spydet, opbrænder Vognene med Ild.
“Desist, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted throughout 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; The God of Jacob is our refuge.
