Psalmorum 46

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

For the choirmaster. Of the sons of Korah. According to Alamoth. A song. God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in times of trouble.

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

Therefore we will not fear, though the earth is transformed and the mountains are toppled into the depths of the seas,

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

though their waters roar and foam and the mountains quake in the surge.

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

There is a river whose streams delight the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells.

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

God is within her; she will not be moved. God will help her when morning dawns.

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

Nations rage, kingdoms crumble; the earth melts when He lifts His voice.

7 Dominus virtutum nobiscum: susceptor noster Deus Iacob.

The LORD of Hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.

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

Come, see the works of the LORD, who brings devastation upon the earth.

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

He makes wars to cease throughout the earth; He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; He burns the shields in the fire.

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

“Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted over the earth.”

11 Dominus virtutum nobiscum: susceptor noster Deus Iacob.

The LORD of Hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.
