46 神は私たちの隠れ家、また力、
苦難にあえぐときの確かな助けです。
ですから、たとえ全世界が破裂し、
山々が崩れ落ちて海に沈むようなことがあっても、
怖がることはありません。
海よ、鳴りとどろき、白くあわ立つがよい。
山よ、激しく揺れ動くがよい。

喜びの川が、
あらゆる神々にまさる神であられるお方の
聖なる住まいのある都を流れます。
神がそこにおられるので、
どんなことが起ころうと、都はびくともしません。
神はすばやく
助けの手を差し伸べてくださるのです。
国々は怒り狂い、わめき散らします。
しかし、神のひと言で大地は溶けて服従し、
王国はよろめき倒れます。
天の軍勢の主である神が、そばにいてくださいます。
このお方はヤコブの神で、
私たちを助けるために駆けつけてくださいました。

さあ、主がどんなにすばらしいことをなさるか、
よく見なさい。
主は全世界を灰とし、
世界のすみずみまで戦争をやめさせ、
武器という武器を残らず破壊し、焼き捨てられます。
10 「よく聞きなさい。
わたしこそ神であることを、よくよく知りなさい。
わたしは全世界でほめたたえられる。」
11 天の軍勢の主は、確かに私たちの味方です。
ヤコブの神であるこのお方が、
駆けつけて助けてくださいました。

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)

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.
