< Salme 46 >
1 Til Sangmesteren. Af Koras Sønner. Al-alamot. En Sang.
Unto the end, for the sons of Core, for the hidden. Our God is our refuge and strength: a helper in troubles, which have found us exceedingly.
2 Gud er vor Tilflugt og Styrke, en Hjælp i Angster, prøvet til fulde.
Therefore we will not fear, when the earth shall be troubled; and the mountains shall be removed into the heart of the sea.
3 Derfor frygter vi ikke, om Jorden end bølger og Bjergene styrter i Havenes Skød,
Their waters roared and were troubled: the mountains were troubled with his strength.
4 om end deres Vande bruser og syder og Bjergene skælver ved deres Vælde. (Sela)
The stream of the river maketh the city of God joyful: the most High hath sanctified his own tabernacle.
5 En Flod og dens Bække glæder Guds Stad, den Højeste har helliget sin Bolig;
God is in the midst thereof, it shall not be moved: God will help it in the morning early.
6 i den er Gud, den rokkes ikke, Gud bringer den Hjælp, naar Morgen gryr.
Nations were troubled, and kingdoms were bowed down: he uttered his voice, the earth trembled.
7 Folkene larmed, Rigerne vakled, han løfted Røsten, saa Jorden skjalv,
The Lord of armies is with us: the God of Jacob is our protector.
8 Hærskarers HERRE er med os, Jakobs Gud er vor faste Borg. (Sela)
Come and behold ye the works of the Lord: what wonders he hath done upon earth,
9 Kom hid og se paa HERRENS Værk, han har udført frygtelige Ting paa Jord.
Making wars to cease even to the end of the earth. He shall destroy the bow, and break the weapons: and the shield he shall burn 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 see that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, and 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)
The Lord of armies is with us: the God of Jacob is our protector.
