< Mazmur 46 >

1 Mazmur kaum Korah. Untuk pemimpin kor. Dengan lagu Alamot. Allah adalah perlindungan dan kekuatan kita; Ia selalu siap dan mampu menolong dalam kesesakan.
God is the one who protects us and causes us to be strong; he is always ready to help us when we have troubles.
2 Maka kita tidak takut, biarpun bumi bergoncang, dan gunung-gunung tenggelam ke dasar lautan;
So, even if the earth shakes, we will not be afraid. Even if the mountains fall into the middle of the sea,
3 biar laut mengamuk dan bergelora, dan bukit-bukit gemetar oleh pukulannya.
and if the water in the sea roars and foams, and the hills shake violently, we will not be afraid!
4 Ada aliran sungai yang menggembirakan kota Allah, tempat kediaman Allah Yang Mahatinggi.
[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.
5 Allah berdiam di sana, maka kota itu takkan musnah; Ia akan menolongnya waktu fajar merekah.
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.
6 Allah mengguntur, maka bumi hancur luluh; bangsa-bangsa gempar, kerajaan-kerajaan runtuh.
[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].
7 TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa menyertai kita, Allah Yakub melindungi kita.
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.
8 Mari, lihatlah apa yang dikerjakan TUHAN; betapa menakjubkan karya-Nya di bumi!
Come and (see/think about) the amazing things that Yahweh has done [DOU]!
9 Ia menghentikan peperangan di seluruh dunia, busur dan lembing dihancurkan-Nya, perisai-perisai bundar dibakar-Nya.
He stops wars all over the world; he breaks bows [and arrows]; he destroys spears; he burns up shields.
10 Kata-Nya, "Berhentilah berperang; ketahuilah, Aku ini Allah, Aku agung di antara bangsa-bangsa, agung di seluruh bumi."
[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.”
11 TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa menyertai kita, Allah Yakub melindungi kita.
[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.
