46 Дирижеру хора. Псалом потомков Кораха.

Рукоплещите, все народы,
    вознесите Богу крик радости.
Как грозен Господь Всевышний[a],
    великий Царь над всей землей!
Он покорил нам народы,
    бросил нам под ноги племена.
Он избрал нам наследие –
    гордость Иакова, которого Он возлюбил. Пауза

Бог вознесся под крики радости;
    Господь вознесся под звуки рогов.
Пойте Богу хвалу, пойте!
    Пойте хвалу нашему Царю, пойте!
Бог – Царь над всей землей;
    пойте Ему искусный псалом[b].

Бог царит над народами;
    Бог восседает на святом престоле Своем.
10 Собираются вожди народов,
    вместе с народом Авраамова Бога,
ведь земные правители[c] принадлежат Богу;
    Он высоко превознесся.

46 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;

Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.

There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.

God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.

The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.

The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

Come, behold the works of the Lord, what desolations he hath made in the earth.

He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire.

10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

11 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

God the Refuge of His People and Conqueror of the Nations

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A Song (A)for Alamoth.

46 God is our (B)refuge and strength,

Though the mountains shake with its swelling. Selah

There is a (E)river whose streams shall make glad the (F)city of God,
The holy place of the [c]tabernacle of the Most High.
God is (G)in the midst of her, she shall not be [d]moved;

(H)The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved;
He uttered His voice, the earth melted.

The (I)Lord of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah

Come, behold the works of the Lord,
Who has made desolations in the earth.
(J)He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;
(K)He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two;
(L)He burns the chariot in the fire.

10 Be still, and know that I am God;
(M)I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!

11 The Lord of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah
