上帝与我们同在

可拉后裔的诗,交给乐长,用女高音唱。

46 上帝是我们的避难所,
是我们的力量,
是我们患难中随时的帮助。
因此,任大地震动,
群山沉入深海;
任海涛汹涌澎湃,
群山摇撼颤抖,
我们也不惧怕。(细拉)

有一条河给上帝的城——至高者的圣所带来喜乐。
上帝住在城里,
城必屹立不倒。
天一亮,上帝必帮助这城。
列邦动荡,列国倾覆。
上帝的声音使大地熔化。
万军之耶和华与我们同在,
雅各的上帝是我们的堡垒。(细拉)

来看耶和华的作为吧!
祂使大地荒凉。
祂平息天下的战争,
祂断弓、折枪、烧毁盾牌。
10 祂说:“要安静,
要知道我是上帝,
我必在列国受尊崇,
在普世受尊崇。”
11 万军之耶和华与我们同在,
雅各的上帝是我们的堡垒。

Psalm 46

The King’s Reign

Heading
For the choir director. By the Sons of Korah.
According to alamoth.[a] A song.

The Earth Shaken

God is our refuge and strength,
a helper who can always be found in times of trouble.
That is why we will not fear when the earth dissolves
and when the mountains tumble into the heart of the sea.
Its waters roar and foam.
The mountains quake when it rises. Interlude

A City Unshaken

There is a river—its streams bring joy to the city of God,
to the holy dwelling of the Most High.
God is in her. She will not fall.
God will help her at daybreak.
Nations are in turmoil. Kingdoms fall.
God raises his voice. The earth melts.
The Lord of Armies is with us.
The God of Jacob is a fortress for us. Interlude
Come, look at the works of the Lord.
What a wasteland he has made of the earth!
He makes wars cease to the end of the earth.
He shatters the bow. He cuts up the spear.
He burns the carts[b] with fire.
10 “Be still, and know that I am God.
I will be exalted among the nations.
I will be exalted on the earth.”

11 The Lord of Armies is with us.
The God of Jacob is a fortress for us. Interlude

  2. Psalm 46:9 Or shields. If we keep the reading carts, it refers to the two-wheeled supply carts, not to the war chariots.
