Psalm 46

Neue evangelistische Übersetzung

Gott, unsere Burg

1 Dem Chorleiter. Nach einer Mädchenweise. Ein Lied von den Söhnen Korachs. 2 Gott ist uns Zuflucht und Stärke, / ein Helfer in Zeiten der Not. 3 Darum fürchten wir uns nicht, / wenn auch die Erde erbebt, / wenn Berge versinken ins Meer, 4 wenn seine Fluten noch so toben / und Berge erzittern unter ihrer Wucht. ♪ 5 Ein Strom aus vielen Bächen erfreut die Gottesstadt, / das Heiligtum, die Wohnung des Höchsten. 6 Gott ist in ihrer Mitte, nichts kann sie erschüttern. / Gott hilft ihr, wenn der Morgen anbricht. 7 Völker toben, Weltreiche wanken, / seine Stimme erschallt, und die Erde vergeht. 8 Jahwe, der Allmächtige, ist mit uns, / der Gott Jakobs ist unsere sichere Burg. ♪^[1] 9 Kommt und seht die Taten Jahwes, / der Entsetzen auf der Erde verbreitet, 10 der Kriege aufhören lässt auf der ganzen Welt, / der Bogen zerbricht und Speere zerschlägt / und die Streitwagen im Feuer verbrennt. 11 „Lasst ab ‹davon› und erkennt, dass ich Gott bin! / Ich werde erhöht sein unter den Völkern, / erhaben über die Erde.“ 12 Jahwe, der Allmächtige, ist mit uns, / der Gott Jakobs ist unsere sichere Burg. ♪

Psalm 46

New International Reader’s Version

von Biblica

For the director of music. A song of the Sons of Korah. According to alamoth.

1 God is our place of safety. He gives us strength. He is always there to help us in times of trouble. 2 The earth may fall apart. The mountains may fall into the middle of the sea. But we will not be afraid. 3 The waters of the sea may roar and foam. The mountains may shake when the waters rise. But we will not be afraid. 4 God’s blessings are like a river. They fill the city of God with joy. That city is the holy place where the Most High God lives. 5 Because God is there, the city will not fall. God will help it at the beginning of the day. 6 Nations are in disorder. Kingdoms fall. God speaks, and the people of the earth melt in fear. 7 The LORD who rules over all is with us. The God of Jacob is like a fort to us. 8 Come and see what the LORD has done. See the places he has destroyed on the earth. 9 He makes wars stop from one end of the earth to the other. He breaks every bow. He snaps every spear. He burns every shield with fire. 10 He says, ‘Be still, and know that I am God. I will be honoured among the nations. I will be honoured in the earth.’ 11 The LORD who rules over all is with us. The God of Jacob is like a fort to us.
