Psalm 46
King James Version
46 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.
4 There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.
5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.
6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.
7 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
8 Come, behold the works of the Lord, what desolations he hath made in the earth.
9 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.
Psalmi 46
Cornilescu 1924 - Revised 2010, 2014
Psalmul 46
Către mai-marele cântăreţilor.
Un psalm al fiilor lui Core.
De cântat pe alamot. O cântare.
1 Dumnezeu este adăpostul(A) şi sprijinul nostru,
un ajutor(B) care nu lipseşte niciodată în nevoi.
2 De aceea nu ne temem chiar dacă s-ar zgudui pământul
şi s-ar clătina munţii în inima mărilor.
3 Chiar(C) dacă ar urla şi ar spumega valurile mării
şi s-ar ridica până acolo de să se cutremure munţii.
4 Este un râu(D) ale cărui izvoare înveselesc cetatea(E) lui Dumnezeu,
sfântul locaş al locuinţelor Celui Preaînalt.
5 Dumnezeu este în(F) mijlocul ei: ea nu se clatină;
Dumnezeu o ajută în revărsatul zorilor.
6 Neamurile(G) se frământă, împărăţiile se clatină,
dar glasul Lui răsună, şi pământul(H) se topeşte de groază.
7 Domnul(I) oştirilor este cu noi,
Dumnezeul lui Iacov este un turn de scăpare pentru noi.
8 Veniţi(J) şi priviţi lucrările Domnului,
pustiirile pe care le-a făcut El pe pământ.
9 El(K) a pus capăt războaielor până la marginea pământului;
El a sfărâmat(L) arcul şi a rupt suliţa, a ars cu(M) foc carele de război.
10 „Opriţi-vă, şi să ştiţi că Eu sunt Dumnezeu:
Eu stăpânesc(N) peste neamuri,
Eu stăpânesc pe pământ.”
11 Domnul(O) oştirilor este cu noi.
Dumnezeul lui Iacov este un turn de scăpare pentru noi.
