< 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.
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 will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
3 The watris of hem sowneden, and weren troblid; hillis weren troblid togidere in the strengthe of hym.
Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. (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 whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles 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 in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.
6 Hethene men weren disturblid togidere, and rewmes weren bowid doun; God yaf his vois, the erthe was moued.
The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.
7 The Lord of vertues is with vs; God of Jacob is oure vptakere.
The Lord of hosts 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, behold the works of the Lord, what desolations he hath 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 maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot 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 heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
11 The Lord of vertues is with vs; God of Jacob is oure vptakere.
The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)
