< Psalms 46 >
1 For the Leader; a Psalm of the sons of Korah; upon Alamoth. A Song. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. ElamaDodana kaKhora. Ingoma ngendlela ye-alamothi. UNkulunkulu uyisiphephelo sethu lamandla ethu, usizo oluhlezi lukhona nxa kulohlupho.
2 Therefore will we not fear, though the earth do change, and though the mountains be moved into the heart of the seas;
Ngakho kangiyikwesaba, umhlaba ungaze ubhidlike lezintaba ziwele ekujuleni kolwandle,
3 Though the waters thereof roar and foam, though the mountains shake at the swelling thereof. (Selah)
loba amanzi alo ehlokoma agubhazele izintaba zivevezele ngokuqubuka kwalo.
4 There is a river, the streams whereof make glad the city of God, the holiest dwelling-place of the Most High.
Kukhona umfula ozifudlana zawo zithokozisa idolobho likaNkulunkulu, indawo engcwele okuhlala kuyo oPhezukonke.
5 God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God shall help her, at the approach of morning.
UNkulunkulu ungaphakathi kwalo, kaliyikuwiswa; uNkulunkulu uzalisiza ngovivi lokusa.
6 Nations were in tumult, kingdoms were moved; He uttered His voice, the earth melted.
Izizwe ziyahlokoma, imibuso iyachitheka; uphakamisa ilizwi lakhe umhlaba uncibilike.
7 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our high tower. (Selah)
UThixo uSomandla ulathi; uNkulunkulu kaJakhobe uyinqaba yethu.
8 Come, behold the works of the LORD, who hath made desolations in the earth.
Wozani libone imisebenzi kaThixo, incithakalo aseyenzile emhlabeni.
9 He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; He breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; He burneth the chariots in the fire.
Uyathulisa izimpi kuze kube semikhawulweni yomhlaba; uyalephula idandili avadlaze lomkhonto, utshisa izinqola ngomlilo.
10 'Let be, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.'
“Thulani, lazi ukuba mina nginguNkulunkulu; ngizaphakanyiswa phakathi kwezizwe; ngizaphakanyiswa emhlabeni.”
11 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our high tower. (Selah)
UThixo uSomandla ulathi, uNkulunkulu kaJakhobe uyinqaba yethu.
