Psalms 46
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.
To the ouercomere, the song of the sones `of Chore, `for yongthis. Oure God, thou art refuyt, and vertu; helpere in tribulacions, that han founde vs greetly.
2 So, even if the earth shakes, we will not be afraid. Even if the mountains fall into the middle of the sea,
Therfor we schulen not drede, while the erthe schal be troblid; and the hillis schulen be borun ouer in to the herte of the see.
3 and if the water in the sea roars and foams, and the hills shake violently, we will not be afraid!
The watris of hem sowneden, and weren troblid; hillis weren troblid togidere in the strengthe of hym.
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.
The feersnesse of flood makith glad the citee of God; the hiyeste God hath halewid his tabernacle.
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.
God in the myddis therof schal not be moued; God schal helpe it eerli in the grey morewtid.
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].
Hethene men weren disturblid togidere, and rewmes weren bowid doun; God yaf his vois, the erthe was moued.
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.
The Lord of vertues is with vs; God of Jacob is oure vptakere.
8 Come and (see/think about) the amazing things that Yahweh has done [DOU]!
Come ye, and se the werkis of the Lord; whiche wondris he hath set on the erthe.
9 He stops wars all over the world; he breaks bows [and arrows]; he destroys spears; he burns up shields.
He doynge awei batels til to the ende of the lond; schal al to-brese bouwe, and schal breke togidere armuris, and schal brenne scheldis bi fier.
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.”
Yyue ye tent, and se ye, that Y am God; Y schal be enhaunsid among hethene men; and Y schal be enhaunsid in erthe.
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.
The Lord of vertues is with vs; God of Jacob is oure vptakere.
