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.
Untuk pemimpin biduan. Dari bani Korah. Dengan lagu: Alamot. Nyanyian. Allah itu bagi kita tempat perlindungan dan kekuatan, sebagai penolong dalam kesesakan sangat terbukti.
2 So, even if the earth shakes, we will not be afraid. Even if the mountains fall into the middle of the sea,
Sebab itu kita tidak akan takut, sekalipun bumi berubah, sekalipun gunung-gunung goncang di dalam laut;
3 and if the water in the sea roars and foams, and the hills shake violently, we will not be afraid!
sekalipun ribut dan berbuih airnya, sekalipun gunung-gunung goyang oleh geloranya. (Sela)
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.
Kota Allah, kediaman Yang Mahatinggi, disukakan oleh aliran-aliran sebuah sungai.
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.
Allah ada di dalamnya, kota itu tidak akan goncang; Allah akan menolongnya menjelang pagi.
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].
Bangsa-bangsa ribut, kerajaan-kerajaan goncang, Ia memperdengarkan suara-Nya, dan bumipun hancur.
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.
TUHAN semesta alam menyertai kita, kota benteng kita ialah Allah Yakub. (Sela)
8 Come and (see/think about) the amazing things that Yahweh has done [DOU]!
Pergilah, pandanglah pekerjaan TUHAN, yang mengadakan pemusnahan di bumi,
9 He stops wars all over the world; he breaks bows [and arrows]; he destroys spears; he burns up shields.
yang menghentikan peperangan sampai ke ujung bumi, yang mematahkan busur panah, menumpulkan tombak, membakar kereta-kereta perang dengan api!
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.”
"Diamlah dan ketahuilah, bahwa Akulah Allah! Aku ditinggikan di antara bangsa-bangsa, ditinggikan di bumi!"
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.
TUHAN semesta alam menyertai kita, kota benteng kita ialah Allah Yakub. (Sela)
