Ψαλμοί 46

1 εἰς τὸ τέλος ὑπὲρ τῶν υἱῶν Κορε ὑπὲρ τῶν κρυφίων ψαλμός ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν καταφυγὴ καὶ δύναμις βοηθὸς ἐν θλίψεσιν ταῖς εὑρούσαις ἡμᾶς σφόδρα

For the leader. Of the Korahites, on alamoth. A song. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

2 διὰ τοῦτο οὐ φοβηθησόμεθα ἐν τῷ ταράσσεσθαι τὴν γῆν καὶ μετατίθεσθαι ὄρη ἐν καρδίαις θαλασσῶν

So we have no fear, though earth should change, and the hills totter into the heart of the ocean.

3 ἤχησαν καὶ ἐταράχθησαν τὰ ὕδατα αὐτῶν ἐταράχθησαν τὰ ὄρη ἐν τῇ κραταιότητι αὐτοῦ διάψαλμα

Let its waters roar and foam, let the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. On our side is the Lord of hosts, our sure defence is the God of Jacob. (Selah)

4 τοῦ ποταμοῦ τὰ ὁρμήματα εὐφραίνουσιν τὴν πόλιν τοῦ θεοῦ ἡγίασεν τὸ σκήνωμα αὐτοῦ ὁ ὕψιστος

A river there is, whose streams make glad God’s city, the home the Most High has hallowed.

5 ὁ θεὸς ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς οὐ σαλευθήσεται βοηθήσει αὐτῇ ὁ θεὸς τὸ πρὸς πρωί

God is within her: she cannot be shaken. God helps her at the turn of the morning.

6 ἐταράχθησαν ἔθνη ἔκλιναν βασιλεῖαι ἔδωκεν φωνὴν αὐτοῦ ἐσαλεύθη ἡ γῆ

Nations roared, kingdoms tottered: he uttered his voice, earth melted away.

7 κύριος τῶν δυνάμεων μεθ’ ἡμῶν ἀντιλήμπτωρ ἡμῶν ὁ θεὸς Ιακωβ διάψαλμα

On our side is the Lord of hosts, our sure defence is the God of Jacob.

8 δεῦτε ἴδετε τὰ ἔργα κυρίου ἃ ἔθετο τέρατα ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς

Come and see what the Lord has done, working appallingly in the earth.

9 ἀνταναιρῶν πολέμους μέχρι τῶν περάτων τῆς γῆς τόξον συντρίψει καὶ συγκλάσει ὅπλον καὶ θυρεοὺς κατακαύσει ἐν πυρί

He stills wars to the ends of the earth – breaking the bow, snapping the spear, burning the chariots in the fire.

10 σχολάσατε καὶ γνῶτε ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ θεός ὑψωθήσομαι ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν ὑψωθήσομαι ἐν τῇ γῇ

“Refrain; and know surely that I am God, high over the nations, high over the world.”

11 κύριος τῶν δυνάμεων μεθ’ ἡμῶν ἀντιλήμπτωρ ἡμῶν ὁ θεὸς Ιακωβ

On our side is the Lord of Hosts, our sure defence is the God of Jacob. (Selah)
