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.
Til Sangmesteren; af Koras Børn; en Sang; til Alamoth.
2 So, even if the earth shakes, we will not be afraid. Even if the mountains fall into the middle of the sea,
Gud er vor Tillid og Styrke, en Hjælp i Angester, prøvet til fulde.
3 and if the water in the sea roars and foams, and the hills shake violently, we will not be afraid!
Derfor ville vi ikke frygte, om end Jorden forandres, og Bjergene synke ned i Havets Dyb;
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.
om end Vandene deri bruse og oprøres, Bjergene bæve for dets Vælde. (Sela)
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.
Men en Strøm med sine Bække glæder Guds Stad, Helligdommen, den Højestes Boliger.
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].
Gud er midt i den, den skal ikke rokkes; Gud skal hjælpe den, naar Morgenen frembryder.
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.
Hedningerne brusede, Rigerne bevægedes; han udgav sin Røst, Jorden smeltedes.
8 Come and (see/think about) the amazing things that Yahweh has done [DOU]!
Herren Zebaoth er med os, Jakobs Gud er vor faste Borg. (Sela)
9 He stops wars all over the world; he breaks bows [and arrows]; he destroys spears; he burns up shields.
Kommer, ser Herrens Gerninger, hvorledes han har anrettet Ødelæggelser paa Jorden.
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.”
Han, som kommer Krigene til at holde op indtil Jordens Ende, sønderbryder Buen og afhugger Spydet, opbrænder Vognene med Ild.
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.
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)
