Salme 46

1 Til Sangmesteren. Af Koras Sønner. Al-alamot. En Sang.

“To the chief musician: by the sons of Korach, upon 'Alamoth, a song.” God is our protection 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, even when the earth is transformed, and when mountains are moved into the heart of the seas;

3 Derfor frygter vi ikke, om Jorden end bølger og Bjergene styrter i Havenes Skød,

[When] the waters thereof roar and foam, when mountains quake before his majesty. (Selah)

4 om end deres Vande bruser og syder og Bjergene skælver ved deres Vælde. (Sela)

[There] is a river, its rivulets cause to rejoice the city of God, the sanctuary of the dwellings of the Most High.

5 En Flod og dens Bække glæder Guds Stad, den Højeste har helliget sin Bolig;

God is in her midst; she shall not be moved: God will ever help her, at the dawning of [her] morning.

6 i den er Gud, den rokkes ikke, Gud bringer den Hjælp, naar Morgen gryr.

Nations rage, kingdoms are moved: he letteth his voice be heard, the earth melteth away.

7 Folkene larmed, Rigerne vakled, han løfted Røsten, saa Jorden skjalv,

The Lord of hosts is with us; a defense unto us is the God of Jacob. (Selah)

8 Hærskarers HERRE er med os, Jakobs Gud er vor faste Borg. (Sela)

Come, look at the deeds of the Lord, who hath made desolations on the earth.

9 Kom hid og se paa HERRENS Værk, han har udført frygtelige Ting paa Jord.

He causeth wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in pieces; he burneth wagons in the fire.

10 Han gør Ende paa Krig til Jordens Grænser, han splintrer Buen, sønderbryder Spydene, Skjoldene tænder han i Brand.

Leave off, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted on 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 hosts is with us; a defence unto us is the God of Jacob. (Selah)
