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.
Psalmus, in finem, pro filiis Core pro occultis. Deus noster refugium, et virtus: adiutor in tribulationibus, quae invenerunt nos nimis.
2 So, even if the earth shakes, we will not be afraid. Even if the mountains fall into the middle of the sea,
Propterea non timebimus dum turbabitur terra: et transferentur montes in cor maris.
3 and if the water in the sea roars and foams, and the hills shake violently, we will not be afraid!
Sonuerunt, et turbatae sunt aquae eorum: conturbati sunt montes in fortitudine eius.
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.
Fluminis impetus laetificat civitatem Dei: sanctificavit tabernaculum suum Altissimus.
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.
Deus, in medio eius, non commovebitur: adiuvabit eam Deus mane diluculo.
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].
Conturbatae sunt gentes, et inclinata sunt regna: dedit vocem suam, mota est terra.
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.
Dominus virtutum nobiscum: susceptor noster Deus Iacob.
8 Come and (see/think about) the amazing things that Yahweh has done [DOU]!
Venite, et videte opera Domini, quae posuit prodigia super terram:
9 He stops wars all over the world; he breaks bows [and arrows]; he destroys spears; he burns up shields.
auferens bella usque ad finem terrae. Arcum conteret, et confringet arma: et scuta comburet igni:
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.”
Vacate, et videte quoniam ego sum Deus: exaltabor in gentibus, et exaltabor in terra.
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.
Dominus virtutum nobiscum: susceptor noster Deus Iacob.
