Psalmorum 46

1 In finem, filiis Core pro arcanis, Psalmus. Deus noster refugium, et virtus: adiutor in tribulationibus, quæ invenerunt nos nimis.

For the music director by the sons of Korah. According to alamoth, a song. God is our protection and our strength; always ready to help when troubles come.

2 Propterea non timebimus dum turbabitur terra: et transferentur montes in cor maris.

So we will not be afraid though the earth shakes, though the mountains fall into the depths of the sea,

3 Sonuerunt, et turbatæ sunt aquæ eorum: conturbati sunt montes in fortitudine eius.

though the waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble as the waters surge violently! (Selah)

4 Fluminis impetus lætificat civitatem Dei: sanctificavit tabernaculum suum Altissimus.

A river flows to bring happiness to those in God's city, the holy place where the Most High lives.

5 Deus, in medio eius, non commovebitur: adiuvabit eam Deus mane diluculo.

God is in the midst of the city; it will never fall. God protects it as soon as it is light.

6 Conturbatæ sunt gentes, et inclinata sunt regna: dedit vocem suam, mota est terra.

Nations are in turmoil, kingdoms collapse. God raises his voice and the earth melts.

7 Dominus virtutum nobiscum: susceptor noster Deus Iacob.

The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob protects us. (Selah)

8 Venite, et videte opera Domini, quæ posuit prodigia super terram:

Come and see what the Lord has achieved! See the amazing things he has done on the earth!

9 auferens bella usque ad finem terræ. Arcum conteret, et confringet arma: et scuta comburet igni:

He stops wars all over the world. He smashes the bow; he breaks the spear; he sets shields on fire.

10 Vacate, et videte quoniam ego sum Deus: exaltabor in gentibus, et exaltabor in terra.

Stop fighting! Recognize I am God! I am the ruler of the nations; I am the ruler of the earth.

11 Dominus virtutum nobiscum: susceptor noster Deus Iacob.

The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob protects us. (Selah)
