< Psalms 46 >

1 For the chief musician. A psalm of the sons of Korah; set to Alamoth. A song. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Til sangmesteren; av Korahs barn; efter Alamot; en sang. Gud er vår tilflukt og vår styrke, en hjelp i trengsler, funnet såre stor.
2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change, though the mountains should be shaken into the heart of the seas,
Derfor frykter vi ikke, om jorden omskiftes, og om fjell rokkes i havets hjerte,
3 though its waters roar and rage, and though the mountains tremble with their swelling. (Selah)
om dets bølger bruser og skummer, og fjell bever ved dets overmot. (Sela)
4 There is a river whose streams make the city of God happy, the holy place where the Most High dwells.
En strøm - dens bekker gleder Guds stad, den Høiestes hellige bolig.
5 God is in the middle of her; she will not be moved; God will help her, and he will do so at the dawn of morning.
Gud er midt i den, den skal ikke rokkes; Gud hjelper den når morgenen bryter frem.
6 The nations raged and the kingdoms were shaken; he lifted up his voice, and the earth melted.
Folkeferd bruste, riker blev rokket; han lot sin røst høre, jorden smeltet.
7 Yahweh of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)
Herren, hærskarenes Gud, er med oss; Jakobs Gud er vår faste borg. (Sela)
8 Come, behold the deeds of Yahweh, the destruction he has caused on earth.
Kom, se Herrens gjerninger, som har gjort ødeleggelse på jorden!
9 He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth; he breaks the bow and cuts the spear into pieces; he burns up the shields.
Han gjør ende på krigene over hele jorden, bryter buen sønder og hugger spydet av; vognene brenner han op med ild.
10 Be quiet and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations; I will be exalted on the earth.
Hold op og kjenn at jeg er Gud! Jeg er ophøiet iblandt folkene, ophøiet på jorden.
11 Yahweh of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)
Herren, hærskarenes Gud, er med oss; Jakobs Gud er vår faste borg. (Sela)
