< Psalms 46 >
1 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.
Til Sangmesteren; af Koras Børn; en Sang; til Alamoth.
2 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;
Gud er vor Tillid og Styrke, en Hjælp i Angester, prøvet til fulde.
3 Though its waters are sounding and troubled, and though the mountains are shaking with their violent motion. (Selah)
Derfor ville vi ikke frygte, om end Jorden forandres, og Bjergene synke ned i Havets Dyb;
4 There is a river whose streams make glad the resting-place of God, the holy place of the tents of the Most High.
om end Vandene deri bruse og oprøres, Bjergene bæve for dets Vælde. (Sela)
5 God has taken his place in her; she will not be moved: he will come to her help at the dawn of morning.
Men en Strøm med sine Bække glæder Guds Stad, Helligdommen, den Højestes Boliger.
6 The nations were angry, the kingdoms were moved; at the sound of his voice the earth became like wax.
Gud er midt i den, den skal ikke rokkes; Gud skal hjælpe den, naar Morgenen frembryder.
7 The Lord of armies is with us; the God of Jacob is our high tower. (Selah)
Hedningerne brusede, Rigerne bevægedes; han udgav sin Røst, Jorden smeltedes.
8 Come, see the works of the Lord, the destruction which he has made in the earth.
Herren Zebaoth er med os, Jakobs Gud er vor faste Borg. (Sela)
9 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.
Kommer, ser Herrens Gerninger, hvorledes han har anrettet Ødelæggelser paa Jorden.
10 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.
Han, som kommer Krigene til at holde op indtil Jordens Ende, sønderbryder Buen og afhugger Spydet, opbrænder Vognene med Ild.
11 The Lord of armies is with us; the God of Jacob is our high tower. (Selah)
Lader af og vider, at jeg er Gud, ophøjet iblandt Hedningerne, ophøjet paa Jorden. Herren Zebaoth er med os, Jakobs Gud er vor faste Borg. (Sela)
