< Salme 46 >

1 Til Sangmesteren; af Koras Børn; en Sang; til Alamoth.
God is the one who protects us and causes us to be strong; he is always ready to help us when we have troubles.
2 Gud er vor Tillid og Styrke, en Hjælp i Angester, prøvet til fulde.
So, even if the earth shakes, we will not be afraid. Even if the mountains fall into the middle of the sea,
3 Derfor ville vi ikke frygte, om end Jorden forandres, og Bjergene synke ned i Havets Dyb;
and if the water in the sea roars and foams, and the hills shake violently, we will not be afraid!
4 om end Vandene deri bruse og oprøres, Bjergene bæve for dets Vælde. (Sela)
[Blessings that come from] God are like a river that makes everyone in the city where [we worship] God joyful. It is the city where the temple of God, who is greater than any other god, exists.
5 Men en Strøm med sine Bække glæder Guds Stad, Helligdommen, den Højestes Boliger.
God is in this city, and it will never be destroyed; he will [come to] help [the people in] that city at dawn every day.
6 Gud er midt i den, den skal ikke rokkes; Gud skal hjælpe den, naar Morgenen frembryder.
[Sometimes] the [people of many] nations are terrified; kingdoms (are overthrown/cease to exist); God speaks [loudly like thunder], and the earth melts (OR, people everywhere become terrified) [MET].
7 Hedningerne brusede, Rigerne bevægedes; han udgav sin Røst, Jorden smeltedes.
But Yahweh, the commander of the armies of heaven, is with us; the God whom Jacob worshiped (OR, we Israeli people worship) is our refuge.
8 Herren Zebaoth er med os, Jakobs Gud er vor faste Borg. (Sela)
Come and (see/think about) the amazing things that Yahweh has done [DOU]!
9 Kommer, ser Herrens Gerninger, hvorledes han har anrettet Ødelæggelser paa Jorden.
He stops wars all over the world; he breaks bows [and arrows]; he destroys spears; he burns up shields.
10 Han, som kommer Krigene til at holde op indtil Jordens Ende, sønderbryder Buen og afhugger Spydet, opbrænder Vognene med Ild.
[God says], “Be quiet, and remember that I am God! I will be honored by the people of all nations. I will be honored all over 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)
[So never forget that] Yahweh, the commander of the armies of heaven, is with us; the God whom Jacob worshiped (OR, we Israeli people worship) is our refuge.
