< Psalms 46 >
1 “For the leader of the music. Of, or for, the sons of Korah. To be sung in the manner, or with the voice, of virgins.” God is our refuge and strength; An ever present help in trouble.
Psalmus, in finem, pro filiis Core pro occultis. Deus noster refugium, et virtus: adiutor in tribulationibus, quae invenerunt nos nimis.
2 Therefore will we not fear, though the earth be changed; Though the mountains tremble in the heart of the sea;
Propterea non timebimus dum turbabitur terra: et transferentur montes in cor maris.
3 Though its waters roar and be troubled, And the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. (Pause)
Sonuerunt, et turbatae sunt aquae eorum: conturbati sunt montes in fortitudine eius.
4 A river with its streams shall make glad the city of God, The holy dwelling-place of the Most High.
Fluminis impetus laetificat civitatem Dei: sanctificavit tabernaculum suum Altissimus.
5 God is the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God will help her, and that full early.
Deus, in medio eius, non commovebitur: adiuvabit eam Deus mane diluculo.
6 The nations raged; kingdoms were moved; He uttered his voice, the earth melted.
Conturbatae sunt gentes, et inclinata sunt regna: dedit vocem suam, mota est terra.
7 The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. (Pause)
Dominus virtutum nobiscum: susceptor noster Deus Iacob.
8 Come, behold the doings of the LORD; What desolations he hath made in the earth!
Venite, et videte opera Domini, quae posuit prodigia super terram:
9 He causeth wars to cease to the end of the earth; He hath broken the bow, and snapped the spear asunder, And burned the chariots in fire.
auferens bella usque ad finem terrae. Arcum conteret, et confringet arma: et scuta comburet igni:
10 “Desist, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted throughout the earth!”
Vacate, et videte quoniam ego sum Deus: exaltabor in gentibus, et exaltabor in terra.
11 The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge.
Dominus virtutum nobiscum: susceptor noster Deus Iacob.
