Psalmorum 46
1 in finem pro filiis Core pro arcanis psalmus Deus noster refugium et virtus adiutor in tribulationibus quae invenerunt nos nimis
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 propterea non timebimus dum turbabitur terra et transferentur montes in cor maris
So, even if the earth shakes, we will not be afraid. Even if the mountains fall into the middle of the sea,
3 sonaverunt et turbatae sunt aquae eorum conturbati sunt montes in fortitudine eius diapsalma
and if the water in the sea roars and foams, and the hills shake violently, we will not be afraid!
4 fluminis impetus laetificat civitatem Dei sanctificavit tabernaculum suum Altissimus
[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 Deus in medio eius non commovebitur adiuvabit eam Deus mane diluculo
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 conturbatae sunt gentes inclinata sunt regna dedit vocem suam mota est terra
[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 Dominus virtutum nobiscum susceptor noster Deus Iacob diapsalma
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 venite et videte opera Domini quae posuit prodigia super terram
Come and (see/think about) the amazing things that Yahweh has done [DOU]!
9 auferens bella usque ad finem terrae arcum conteret et confringet arma et scuta conburet in igne
He stops wars all over the world; he breaks bows [and arrows]; he destroys spears; he burns up shields.
10 vacate et videte quoniam ego sum Deus exaltabor in gentibus exaltabor in terra
[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 Dominus virtutum nobiscum susceptor noster Deus Iacob
[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.
