< Psalmorum 46 >
1 In finem, filiis Core pro arcanis, Psalmus. Deus noster refugium, et virtus: adiutor in tribulationibus, quæ invenerunt nos nimis.
For the Leader; a Psalm of the sons of Korah; upon Alamoth. A Song. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
2 Propterea non timebimus dum turbabitur terra: et transferentur montes in cor maris.
Therefore will we not fear, though the earth do change, and though the mountains be moved into the heart of the seas;
3 Sonuerunt, et turbatæ sunt aquæ eorum: conturbati sunt montes in fortitudine eius.
Though the waters thereof roar and foam, though the mountains shake at the swelling thereof. (Selah)
4 Fluminis impetus lætificat civitatem Dei: sanctificavit tabernaculum suum Altissimus.
There is a river, the streams whereof make glad the city of God, the holiest dwelling-place of the Most High.
5 Deus, in medio eius, non commovebitur: adiuvabit eam Deus mane diluculo.
God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God shall help her, at the approach of morning.
6 Conturbatæ sunt gentes, et inclinata sunt regna: dedit vocem suam, mota est terra.
Nations were in tumult, kingdoms were moved; He uttered His voice, the earth melted.
7 Dominus virtutum nobiscum: susceptor noster Deus Iacob.
The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our high tower. (Selah)
8 Venite, et videte opera Domini, quæ posuit prodigia super terram:
Come, behold the works of the LORD, who hath made desolations in the earth.
9 auferens bella usque ad finem terræ. Arcum conteret, et confringet arma: et scuta comburet igni:
He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; He breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; He burneth the chariots in the fire.
10 Vacate, et videte quoniam ego sum Deus: exaltabor in gentibus, et exaltabor in terra.
'Let be, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.'
11 Dominus virtutum nobiscum: susceptor noster Deus Iacob.
The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our high tower. (Selah)
