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 songmeisteren; av Korahs born, etter Alamot; ein song. Gud er mi hyggja og vår styrke, fullvel røynd i trengslor.
2 So, even if the earth shakes, we will not be afraid. Even if the mountains fall into the middle of the sea,
Difor ottast me ikkje, um so jordi vert umskift, og um fjelli ragar hjarta av storhavet,
3 and if the water in the sea roars and foams, and the hills shake violently, we will not be afraid!
um havbårorne dyn og skumar, og fjelli skjelv for deira ofse. (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.
Der er ei å, hennar bekkjer gled Guds by, den heilage stad der den Høgste bur.
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.
Gud er midt i honom, so han skal ikkje rugga; Gud hjelper honom i morgonlysingi.
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].
Folkeslag rasa, rike vart rikka, han let si røyst ljoda, jordi bråna.
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.
Herren, allhers drott, er med oss; Jakobs Gud er vår faste borg. (Sela)
8 Come and (see/think about) the amazing things that Yahweh has done [DOU]!
Kom og sjå Herrens storverk, som gjer øydeleggjingar på jordi.
9 He stops wars all over the world; he breaks bows [and arrows]; he destroys spears; he burns up shields.
Han gjer ende på herferder yver all jordi, bryt bogen sund og høgg spjotet av; stridsvognerne brenner han upp i eld.
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.”
«Haldt upp og kjenn at eg er Gud! Eg er upphøgd millom folki, upphøgd på jordi.»
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.
Herren, allhers drott, er med oss; Jakobs Gud er vår faste borg. (Sela)
