Salme 46
1 Til Sangmesteren; af Koras Børn; en Sang; til Alamoth.
For the chief musician. A psalm of the sons of Korah; set to Alamoth. A song. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
2 Gud er vor Tillid og Styrke, en Hjælp i Angester, prøvet til fulde.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change, though the mountains should be shaken into the heart of the seas,
3 Derfor ville vi ikke frygte, om end Jorden forandres, og Bjergene synke ned i Havets Dyb;
though its waters roar and rage, and though the mountains tremble with their swelling. (Selah)
4 om end Vandene deri bruse og oprøres, Bjergene bæve for dets Vælde. (Sela)
There is a river whose streams make the city of God happy, the holy place where the Most High dwells.
5 Men en Strøm med sine Bække glæder Guds Stad, Helligdommen, den Højestes Boliger.
God is in the middle of her; she will not be moved; God will help her, and he will do so at the dawn of morning.
6 Gud er midt i den, den skal ikke rokkes; Gud skal hjælpe den, naar Morgenen frembryder.
The nations raged and the kingdoms were shaken; he lifted up his voice, and the earth melted.
7 Hedningerne brusede, Rigerne bevægedes; han udgav sin Røst, Jorden smeltedes.
Yahweh of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)
8 Herren Zebaoth er med os, Jakobs Gud er vor faste Borg. (Sela)
Come, behold the deeds of Yahweh, the destruction he has caused on earth.
9 Kommer, ser Herrens Gerninger, hvorledes han har anrettet Ødelæggelser paa Jorden.
He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth; he breaks the bow and cuts the spear into pieces; he burns up the shields.
10 Han, som kommer Krigene til at holde op indtil Jordens Ende, sønderbryder Buen og afhugger Spydet, opbrænder Vognene med Ild.
Be quiet 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)
Yahweh of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)
