Psalms 46
1 God is the one who protects us and causes us to be strong; he is always ready to help us when we have troubles.
| לַמְנַצֵּחַ לִבְנֵי־קֹרַח עַֽל־עֲלָמוֹת שִֽׁיר׃ אֱלֹהִים לָנוּ מַחֲסֶה וָעֹז עֶזְרָה בְצָרוֹת נִמְצָא מְאֹֽד׃ |
2 So, even if the earth shakes, we will not be afraid. Even if the mountains fall into the middle of the sea,
| עַל־כֵּן לֹֽא־נִירָא בְּהָמִיר אָרֶץ וּבְמוֹט הָרִים בְּלֵב יַמִּֽים׃ |
3 and if the water in the sea roars and foams, and the hills shake violently, we will not be afraid!
| יֶהֱמוּ יֶחְמְרוּ מֵימָיו יִרְעֲשֽׁוּ הָרִים בְּגַאֲוָתוֹ סֶֽלָה׃ |
4 [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.
| נָהָר פְּלָגָיו יְשַׂמְּחוּ עִיר־אֱלֹהִים קְדֹשׁ מִשְׁכְּנֵי עֶלְיֽוֹן׃ |
5 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.
| אֱלֹהִים בְּקִרְבָּהּ בַּל־תִּמּוֹט יַעְזְרֶהָ אֱלֹהִים לִפְנוֹת בֹּֽקֶר׃ |
6 [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].
| הָמוּ גוֹיִם מָטוּ מַמְלָכוֹת נָתַן בְּקוֹלוֹ תָּמוּג אָֽרֶץ׃ |
7 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.
| יְהֹוָה צְבָאוֹת עִמָּנוּ מִשְׂגָּֽב־לָנוּ אֱלֹהֵי יַֽעֲקֹב סֶֽלָה׃ |
8 Come and (see/think about) the amazing things that Yahweh has done [DOU]!
| לְֽכוּ־חֲזוּ מִפְעֲלוֹת יְהֹוָה אֲשֶׁר־שָׂם שַׁמּוֹת בָּאָֽרֶץ׃ |
9 He stops wars all over the world; he breaks bows [and arrows]; he destroys spears; he burns up shields.
| מַשְׁבִּית מִלְחָמוֹת עַד־קְצֵה הָאָרֶץ קֶשֶׁת יְשַׁבֵּר וְקִצֵּץ חֲנִית עֲגָלוֹת יִשְׂרֹף בָּאֵֽשׁ׃ |
10 [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.”
| הַרְפּוּ וּדְעוּ כִּֽי־אָנֹכִי אֱלֹהִים אָרוּם בַּגּוֹיִם אָרוּם בָּאָֽרֶץ׃ |
11 [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.
| יְהֹוָה צְבָאוֹת עִמָּנוּ מִשְׂגָּֽב־לָנוּ אֱלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹב סֶֽלָה׃ |
