46
A psalm written by one of the descendants of Korah for the choir director
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.
2 So, even if the earth shakes,
we will not be afraid.
Even if the mountains fall into the middle of the sea,
3 and if the water in the sea roars and foams,
and the hills shake violently,
we will not be afraid!
(Think about that!)
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.
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.
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].
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.
(Think about that!)
8 Come and ◄see/think about► the amazing things that Yahweh has done [DOU]!
9 He stops wars all over the world;
he breaks bows and arrows;
he destroys spears;
he burns up shields.
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.”
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.
(Think about that!)
