< Psalms 46 >
1 “To the chief musician: by the sons of Korach, upon 'Alamoth, a song.” God is our protection and strength, a help in distresses, very readily found.
In finem, filiis Core pro arcanis, Psalmus. Deus noster refugium, et virtus: adiutor in tribulationibus, quæ invenerunt nos nimis.
2 Therefore will we not fear, even when the earth is transformed, and when mountains are moved into the heart of the seas;
Propterea non timebimus dum turbabitur terra: et transferentur montes in cor maris.
3 [When] the waters thereof roar and foam, when mountains quake before his majesty. (Selah)
Sonuerunt, et turbatæ sunt aquæ eorum: conturbati sunt montes in fortitudine eius.
4 [There] is a river, its rivulets cause to rejoice the city of God, the sanctuary of the dwellings of the Most High.
Fluminis impetus lætificat civitatem Dei: sanctificavit tabernaculum suum Altissimus.
5 God is in her midst; she shall not be moved: God will ever help her, at the dawning of [her] morning.
Deus, in medio eius, non commovebitur: adiuvabit eam Deus mane diluculo.
6 Nations rage, kingdoms are moved: he letteth his voice be heard, the earth melteth away.
Conturbatæ sunt gentes, et inclinata sunt regna: dedit vocem suam, mota est terra.
7 The Lord of hosts is with us; a defense unto us is the God of Jacob. (Selah)
Dominus virtutum nobiscum: susceptor noster Deus Iacob.
8 Come, look at the deeds of the Lord, who hath made desolations on the earth.
Venite, et videte opera Domini, quæ posuit prodigia super terram:
9 He causeth wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in pieces; he burneth wagons in the fire.
auferens bella usque ad finem terræ. Arcum conteret, et confringet arma: et scuta comburet igni:
10 Leave off, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted on the earth.
Vacate, et videte quoniam ego sum Deus: exaltabor in gentibus, et exaltabor in terra.
11 The Lord of hosts is with us; a defence unto us is the God of Jacob. (Selah)
Dominus virtutum nobiscum: susceptor noster Deus Iacob.
