< 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
For the chief musician. A psalm of the sons of Korah; set to Alamoth. A song. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
2 Derfor frygter vi ikke, om Jorden end bølger og Bjergene styrter i Havenes Skød,
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change, though the mountains should be shaken into the heart of the seas,
3 om end deres Vande bruser og syder og Bjergene skælver ved deres Vælde. (Sela)
though its waters roar and rage, and though the mountains tremble with their swelling. (Selah)
4 En Flod og dens Bække glæder Guds Stad, den Højeste har helliget sin Bolig;
There is a river whose streams make the city of God happy, the holy place where the Most High dwells.
5 i den er Gud, den rokkes ikke, Gud bringer den Hjælp, når Morgen gryr.
God is in the middle of her; she will not be moved; God will help her, and he will do so at the dawn of morning.
6 Folkene larmed, Rigerne vakled, han løfted Røsten, så Jorden skjalv,
The nations raged and the kingdoms were shaken; he lifted up his voice, and the earth melted.
7 Hærskarers HERRE er med os, Jakobs Gud er vor faste Borg. (Sela)
Yahweh of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)
8 Kom hid og se på HERRENs Værk, han har udført frygtelige Ting på Jord.
Come, behold the deeds of Yahweh, the destruction he has caused on earth.
9 Han gør Ende på Krig til Jordens Grænser, han splintrer Buen, sønderbryder Spydene, Skjoldene tænder han i Brand.
He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth; he breaks the bow and cuts the spear into pieces; he burns up the shields.
10 Hold inde og kend, at jeg er Gud, ophøjet blandt Folkene, ophøjet på Jorden!
Be quiet and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations; I will be exalted on the earth.
11 Hærskarers HERRE er med os, Jakobs Gud er vor faste Borg. (Sela)
Yahweh of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)
