Salme 46
1 (Til sangmesteren. Af Koras sønner. Al-alamot. En sang.) Gud er vor Tilflugt og Styrke, en Hjælp i Angster, prøvet til fulde
To the chief music-maker. Of the sons of Korah; put to Alamoth. A Song. God is our harbour and our strength, a very present help in trouble.
2 Derfor frygter vi ikke, om Jorden end bølger og Bjergene styrter i Havenes Skød,
For this cause we will have no fear, even though the earth is changed, and though the mountains are moved in the heart of the sea;
3 om end deres Vande bruser og syder og Bjergene skælver ved deres Vælde. (Sela)
Though its waters are sounding and troubled, and though the mountains are shaking with their violent motion. (Selah)
4 En Flod og dens Bække glæder Guds Stad, den Højeste har helliget sin Bolig;
There is a river whose streams make glad the resting-place of God, the holy place of the tents of the Most High.
5 i den er Gud, den rokkes ikke, Gud bringer den Hjælp, når Morgen gryr.
God has taken his place in her; she will not be moved: he will come to her help at the dawn of morning.
6 Folkene larmed, Rigerne vakled, han løfted Røsten, så Jorden skjalv,
The nations were angry, the kingdoms were moved; at the sound of his voice the earth became like wax.
7 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 high tower. (Selah)
8 Kom hid og se på HERRENs Værk, han har udført frygtelige Ting på Jord.
Come, see the works of the Lord, the destruction which he has made in the earth.
9 Han gør Ende på Krig til Jordens Grænser, han splintrer Buen, sønderbryder Spydene, Skjoldene tænder han i Brand.
He puts an end to wars over all the earth; by him the bow is broken, and the spear cut in two, and the carriage burned in the fire.
10 Hold inde og kend, at jeg er Gud, ophøjet blandt Folkene, ophøjet på Jorden!
Be at peace in the knowledge that I am God: I will be lifted up among the nations, I will be honoured through all the earth.
11 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 high tower. (Selah)
