< Psalms 46 >
1 To the Overseer. — By sons of Korah. 'For the Virgins.' — A song. God [is] to us a refuge and strength, A help in adversities found most surely.
In finem, filiis Core, pro arcanis. Psalmus. Deus noster refugium et virtus; adjutor in tribulationibus quæ invenerunt nos nimis.
2 Therefore we fear not in the changing of earth, And in the slipping of mountains Into the heart of the seas.
Propterea non timebimus dum turbabitur terra, et transferentur montes in cor maris.
3 Roar — troubled are its waters, Mountains they shake in its pride. (Selah)
Sonuerunt, et turbatæ sunt aquæ eorum; conturbati sunt montes in fortitudine ejus.
4 A river — its rivulets rejoice the city of God, Thy holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High.
Fluminis impetus lætificat civitatem Dei: sanctificavit tabernaculum suum Altissimus.
5 God [is] in her midst — she is not moved, God doth help her at the turn of the morn!
Deus in medio ejus, non commovebitur; adjuvabit eam Deus mane diluculo.
6 Troubled have been nations, Moved have been kingdoms, He hath given forth with His voice, earth melteth.
Conturbatæ sunt gentes, et inclinata sunt regna: dedit vocem suam, mota est terra.
7 Jehovah of Hosts [is] with us, A tower for us [is] the God of Jacob. (Selah)
Dominus virtutum nobiscum; susceptor noster Deus Jacob.
8 Come ye, see the works of Jehovah, Who hath done astonishing things in the earth,
Venite, et videte opera Domini, quæ posuit prodigia super terram,
9 Causing wars to cease, Unto the end of the earth, the bow he shivereth, And the spear He hath cut asunder, Chariots he doth burn with fire.
auferens bella usque ad finem terræ. Arcum conteret, et confringet arma, et scuta comburet igni.
10 Desist, and know that I [am] God, I am exalted among nations, I am exalted in the earth.
Vacate, et videte quoniam ego sum Deus; exaltabor in gentibus, et exaltabor in terra.
11 Jehovah of hosts [is] with us, A tower for us [is] the God of Jacob! (Selah)
Dominus virtutum nobiscum; susceptor noster Deus Jacob.
