< Salme 46 >
1 Til Sangmesteren. Af Koras Sønner. Al-alamot. En Sang.
To the chief Musician. Of the sons of Korah. On Alamoth. A song. God is our refuge and strength, a help in distresses, very readily found.
2 Gud er vor Tilflugt og Styrke, en Hjælp i Angster, prøvet til fulde.
Therefore will we not fear though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the heart of the seas;
3 Derfor frygter vi ikke, om Jorden end bølger og Bjergene styrter i Havenes Skød,
Though the waters thereof roar [and] foam, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. (Selah)
4 om end deres Vande bruser og syder og Bjergene skælver ved deres Vælde. (Sela)
There is a river the streams whereof make glad the city of God, the sanctuary of the habitations of the Most High.
5 En Flod og dens Bække glæder Guds Stad, den Højeste har helliget sin Bolig;
God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her at the dawn of the morning.
6 i den er Gud, den rokkes ikke, Gud bringer den Hjælp, naar Morgen gryr.
The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved; he uttered his voice, the earth melted.
7 Folkene larmed, Rigerne vakled, han løfted Røsten, saa Jorden skjalv,
Jehovah of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our high fortress. (Selah)
8 Hærskarers HERRE er med os, Jakobs Gud er vor faste Borg. (Sela)
Come, behold the works of Jehovah, what desolations he hath made in the earth:
9 Kom hid og se paa HERRENS Værk, han har udført frygtelige Ting paa Jord.
He hath made wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariots in the fire.
10 Han gør Ende paa Krig til Jordens Grænser, han splintrer Buen, sønderbryder Spydene, Skjoldene tænder han i Brand.
Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.
11 Hold inde og kend, at jeg er Gud, ophøjet blandt Folkene, ophøjet paa Jorden! Hærskarers HERRE er med os, Jakobs Gud er vor faste Borg. (Sela)
Jehovah of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our high fortress. (Selah)
