< Psalms 46 >
1 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.
For the Chief Musician. By the sons of Korah. According to Alamoth. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
2 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.
Therefore we will not be afraid, though the earth changes, though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas;
3 The watris of hem sowneden, and weren troblid; hillis weren troblid togidere in the strengthe of hym.
though its waters roar and are troubled, though the mountains tremble with their swelling. (Selah)
4 The feersnesse of flood makith glad the citee of God; the hiyeste God hath halewid his tabernacle.
There is a river, the streams of which make the city of God glad, the holy place of the tents of the Most High.
5 God in the myddis therof schal not be moued; God schal helpe it eerli in the grey morewtid.
God is within her. She shall not be moved. God will help her at dawn.
6 Hethene men weren disturblid togidere, and rewmes weren bowid doun; God yaf his vois, the erthe was moued.
The nations raged. The kingdoms were moved. He lifted his voice and the earth melted.
7 The Lord of vertues is with vs; God of Jacob is oure vptakere.
The LORD of Armies is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)
8 Come ye, and se the werkis of the Lord; whiche wondris he hath set on the erthe.
Come, see the LORD’s works, what desolations he has made in the earth.
9 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.
He makes wars cease to the end of the earth. He breaks the bow, and shatters the spear. He burns the chariots in the fire.
10 Yyue ye tent, and se ye, that Y am God; Y schal be enhaunsid among hethene men; and Y schal be enhaunsid in erthe.
“Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted in the earth.”
11 The Lord of vertues is with vs; God of Jacob is oure vptakere.
The LORD of Armies is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)
