< Psalms 46 >
1 For the end, for the sons of Core; a Psalm concerning secret things. God is our refuge and strength, a help in the afflictions that have come heavily upon us.
Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. ElamaDodana kaKhora. Ingoma ngendlela ye-alamothi. UNkulunkulu uyisiphephelo sethu lamandla ethu, usizo oluhlezi lukhona nxa kulohlupho.
2 Therefore will we not fear when the earth is troubled, and the mountains are removed into the depths of the seas.
Ngakho kangiyikwesaba, umhlaba ungaze ubhidlike lezintaba ziwele ekujuleni kolwandle,
3 Their waters have roared and been troubled, the mountains have been troubled by his might. (Pause)
loba amanzi alo ehlokoma agubhazele izintaba zivevezele ngokuqubuka kwalo.
4 The flowings of the river gladden the city of God: the Most High has sanctified his tabernacle.
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 with his countenance.
UNkulunkulu ungaphakathi kwalo, kaliyikuwiswa; uNkulunkulu uzalisiza ngovivi lokusa.
6 The nations were troubled, the kingdoms tottered: he uttered his voice, the earth shook.
Izizwe ziyahlokoma, imibuso iyachitheka; uphakamisa ilizwi lakhe umhlaba uncibilike.
7 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our helper. (Pause)
UThixo uSomandla ulathi; uNkulunkulu kaJakhobe uyinqaba yethu.
8 Come, and behold the works of the Lord, what wonders he has achieved on the earth.
Wozani libone imisebenzi kaThixo, incithakalo aseyenzile emhlabeni.
9 Putting an end to wars as for the ends of the earth; he will crush the bow, and break in pieces the weapon, and burn the bucklers with fire.
Uyathulisa izimpi kuze kube semikhawulweni yomhlaba; uyalephula idandili avadlaze lomkhonto, utshisa izinqola ngomlilo.
10 Be still, 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 helper.
UThixo uSomandla ulathi, uNkulunkulu kaJakhobe uyinqaba yethu.
