Psalms 46

1 For the music director by the sons of Korah. According to alamoth, a song. God is our protection and our strength; always ready to help when troubles come.

Psalmus, in finem, pro filiis Core pro occultis. Deus noster refugium, et virtus: adiutor in tribulationibus, quae invenerunt nos nimis.

2 So we will not be afraid though the earth shakes, though the mountains fall into the depths of the sea,

Propterea non timebimus dum turbabitur terra: et transferentur montes in cor maris.

3 though the waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble as the waters surge violently! (Selah)

Sonuerunt, et turbatae sunt aquae eorum: conturbati sunt montes in fortitudine eius.

4 A river flows to bring happiness to those in God's city, the holy place where the Most High lives.

Fluminis impetus laetificat civitatem Dei: sanctificavit tabernaculum suum Altissimus.

5 God is in the midst of the city; it will never fall. God protects it as soon as it is light.

Deus, in medio eius, non commovebitur: adiuvabit eam Deus mane diluculo.

6 Nations are in turmoil, kingdoms collapse. God raises his voice and the earth melts.

Conturbatae sunt gentes, et inclinata sunt regna: dedit vocem suam, mota est terra.

7 The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob protects us. (Selah)

Dominus virtutum nobiscum: susceptor noster Deus Iacob.

8 Come and see what the Lord has achieved! See the amazing things he has done on the earth!

Venite, et videte opera Domini, quae posuit prodigia super terram:

9 He stops wars all over the world. He smashes the bow; he breaks the spear; he sets shields on fire.

auferens bella usque ad finem terrae. Arcum conteret, et confringet arma: et scuta comburet igni:

10 Stop fighting! Recognize I am God! I am the ruler of the nations; I am the ruler of the earth.

Vacate, et videte quoniam ego sum Deus: exaltabor in gentibus, et exaltabor in terra.

11 The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob protects us. (Selah)

Dominus virtutum nobiscum: susceptor noster Deus Iacob.
