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. By the sons of Korah. According to Alamoth. 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 won’t be afraid, though the earth changes, though the mountains are 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 are troubled, 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, the streams of which make the city of God glad, 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 is within her. She shall not be moved. God will help her at dawn.

6 Folkene larmed, Rigerne vakled, han løfted Røsten, så Jorden skjalv,

The nations raged. The kingdoms were moved. He lifted his voice and the earth melted.

7 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. (Selah)

8 Kom hid og se på HERRENs Værk, han har udført frygtelige Ting på Jord.

Come, see the LORD’s works, what desolations 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 makes wars cease to the end of the earth. He breaks the bow, and shatters the spear. He burns the chariots in the fire.

10 Hold inde og kend, at jeg er Gud, ophøjet blandt Folkene, ophøjet på Jorden!

“Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted in the earth.”

11 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. (Selah)
