< Salme 46 >

1 Til Sangmesteren. Af Koras Sønner. Al-alamot. En Sang.
“For the leader of the music. Of, or for, the sons of Korah. To be sung in the manner, or with the voice, of virgins.” God is our refuge and strength; An ever present help in trouble.
2 Gud er vor Tilflugt og Styrke, en Hjælp i Angster, prøvet til fulde.
Therefore will we not fear, though the earth be changed; Though the mountains tremble in the heart of the sea;
3 Derfor frygter vi ikke, om Jorden end bølger og Bjergene styrter i Havenes Skød,
Though its waters roar and be troubled, And the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. (Pause)
4 om end deres Vande bruser og syder og Bjergene skælver ved deres Vælde. (Sela)
A river with its streams shall make glad the city of God, The holy dwelling-place of the Most High.
5 En Flod og dens Bække glæder Guds Stad, den Højeste har helliget sin Bolig;
God is the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God will help her, and that full early.
6 i den er Gud, den rokkes ikke, Gud bringer den Hjælp, naar Morgen gryr.
The nations raged; kingdoms were moved; He uttered his voice, the earth melted.
7 Folkene larmed, Rigerne vakled, han løfted Røsten, saa Jorden skjalv,
The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. (Pause)
8 Hærskarers HERRE er med os, Jakobs Gud er vor faste Borg. (Sela)
Come, behold the doings of the LORD; What desolations he hath made in the earth!
9 Kom hid og se paa HERRENS Værk, han har udført frygtelige Ting paa Jord.
He causeth wars to cease to the end of the earth; He hath broken the bow, and snapped the spear asunder, And burned the chariots in fire.
10 Han gør Ende paa Krig til Jordens Grænser, han splintrer Buen, sønderbryder Spydene, Skjoldene tænder han i Brand.
“Desist, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted throughout 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; The God of Jacob is our refuge.
