Psalms 46

1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

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

2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth changes, and though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas,

Gud er vor Tilflugt og Styrke, en Hjælp i Angster, prøvet til fulde.

3 though the waters of it roar and are troubled, though the mountains tremble with the swelling of it. (Selah)

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

4 There is a river, the streams of which make the city of God glad, the holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High.

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

5 God is in the midst of her. She shall not be moved. God will help her, and that right early.

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

6 The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved, he uttered his voice, the earth melted.

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

7 Jehovah of hosts is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)

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

8 Come, behold the works of Jehovah, what desolations he has made in the earth.

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

9 He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth. He breaks the bow, and cuts the spear in two. He burns the chariots in the fire.

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

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

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

11 Jehovah of hosts is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)

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)
