< Psalms 46 >
1 God is the one who protects us and causes us to be strong; he is always ready to help us when we have troubles.
科辣黑後裔的詩歌,交與樂官,女聲高音。 天主是我們的救助和力量,天主是患難中最易尋到的保障。
2 So, even if the earth shakes, we will not be afraid. Even if the mountains fall into the middle of the sea,
因此,縱使地動山崩,墮入海心,我們也決不會疑懼橫生;
3 and if the water in the sea roars and foams, and the hills shake violently, we will not be afraid!
海濤儘管洶湧翻騰,山岳儘管因浪震動:我們同在的是萬軍的天主,雅各伯的天主是我們的保護。
4 [Blessings that come from] God are like a river that makes everyone in the city where [we worship] God joyful. It is the city where the temple of God, who is greater than any other god, exists.
河流要使天主的城邑歡樂,即至高者所住的至聖居所,
5 God is in this city, and it will never be destroyed; he will [come to] help [the people in] that city at dawn every day.
天主定居其中,此城決不動搖;清晨曙光一現,天主即加扶牢。
6 [Sometimes] the [people of many] nations are terrified; kingdoms (are overthrown/cease to exist); God speaks [loudly like thunder], and the earth melts (OR, people everywhere become terrified) [MET].
異民儘管擾亂,萬邦儘管騷動,天主一發鳴聲,大地即刻消溶。
7 But Yahweh, the commander of the armies of heaven, is with us; the God whom Jacob worshiped (OR, we Israeli people worship) is our refuge.
與我們同在的是萬軍的上主,雅各伯的天主是我們的保護。
8 Come and (see/think about) the amazing things that Yahweh has done [DOU]!
請你們前來觀看上主的作為,看祂在地上所行的驚人事蹟:
9 He stops wars all over the world; he breaks bows [and arrows]; he destroys spears; he burns up shields.
祂消滅戰爭直達地極,祂斷弓毀矛,燒甲焚盔。
10 [God says], “Be quiet, and remember that I am God! I will be honored by the people of all nations. I will be honored all over the earth.”
你們要停手!應承認我是天主,是萬民的至尊,是大地的上主。
11 [So never forget that] Yahweh, the commander of the armies of heaven, is with us; the God whom Jacob worshiped (OR, we Israeli people worship) is our refuge.
與我們同在的,是萬軍的上主,雅各伯的天主是我們的保護。
