46 Til söngstjórans. Eftir Kóraíta. Fyrir kvenraddir. Ljóð.

Guð er oss hæli og styrkur, örugg hjálp í nauðum.

Fyrir því hræðumst vér eigi, þótt jörðin haggist og fjöllin bifist og steypist í skaut sjávarins.

Látum vötnin gnýja og freyða, látum fjöllin gnötra fyrir æðigangi hafsins. [Sela]

Elfar-kvíslir gleðja Guðs borg, heilagan bústað Hins hæsta.

Guð býr í henni, eigi mun hún bifast, Guð hjálpar henni, þegar birtir af degi.

Þjóðir gnúðu, ríki riðuðu, raust hans þrumaði, jörðin nötraði.

Drottinn hersveitanna er með oss, Jakobs Guð vort vígi. [Sela]

Komið, skoðið dáðir Drottins, hversu hann framkvæmir furðuverk á jörðu.

10 Hann stöðvar styrjaldir til endimarka jarðar, brýtur bogann, slær af oddinn, brennir skjöldu í eldi.

11 "Verið kyrrir og viðurkennið, að ég er Guð, hátt upphafinn meðal þjóðanna, hátt upphafinn á jörðu."

12 Drottinn hersveitanna er með oss, Jakobs Guð vort vígi. [Sela]

Psalm 46[a]

For the director of music. Of the Sons of Korah. According to alamoth.[b] A song.

God is our refuge(A) and strength,(B)
    an ever-present(C) help(D) in trouble.(E)
Therefore we will not fear,(F) though the earth give way(G)
    and the mountains fall(H) into the heart of the sea,(I)
though its waters roar(J) and foam(K)
    and the mountains quake(L) with their surging.[c]

There is a river(M) whose streams(N) make glad the city of God,(O)
    the holy place where the Most High(P) dwells.(Q)
God is within her,(R) she will not fall;(S)
    God will help(T) her at break of day.
Nations(U) are in uproar,(V) kingdoms(W) fall;
    he lifts his voice,(X) the earth melts.(Y)

The Lord Almighty(Z) is with us;(AA)
    the God of Jacob(AB) is our fortress.(AC)

Come and see what the Lord has done,(AD)
    the desolations(AE) he has brought on the earth.
He makes wars(AF) cease
    to the ends of the earth.
He breaks the bow(AG) and shatters the spear;
    he burns the shields[d] with fire.(AH)
10 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;(AI)
    I will be exalted(AJ) among the nations,
    I will be exalted in the earth.”

11 The Lord Almighty is with us;
    the God of Jacob(AK) is our fortress.(AL)
