< Psalmorum 46 >
1 In finem, filiis Core, pro arcanis. Psalmus. Deus noster refugium et virtus; adjutor in tribulationibus quæ invenerunt nos nimis.
“For the leader of the music. Of, or for, the sons of Korah. To be sung in the manner, or with the voice, of virgins.” God is our refuge and strength; An ever 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 be changed; Though the mountains tremble in the heart of the sea;
3 Sonuerunt, et turbatæ sunt aquæ eorum; conturbati sunt montes in fortitudine ejus.
Though its waters roar and be troubled, And the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. (Pause)
4 Fluminis impetus lætificat civitatem Dei: sanctificavit tabernaculum suum Altissimus.
A river with its streams shall make glad the city of God, The holy dwelling-place of the Most High.
5 Deus in medio ejus, non commovebitur; adjuvabit eam Deus mane diluculo.
God is the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God will help her, and that full early.
6 Conturbatæ sunt gentes, et inclinata sunt regna: dedit vocem suam, mota est terra.
The nations raged; kingdoms were moved; He uttered his voice, the earth melted.
7 Dominus virtutum nobiscum; susceptor noster Deus Jacob.
The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. (Pause)
8 Venite, et videte opera Domini, quæ posuit prodigia super terram,
Come, behold the doings of the LORD; What desolations he hath made in the earth!
9 auferens bella usque ad finem terræ. Arcum conteret, et confringet arma, et scuta comburet igni.
He causeth wars to cease to the end of the earth; He hath broken the bow, and snapped the spear asunder, And burned the chariots in fire.
10 Vacate, et videte quoniam ego sum Deus; exaltabor in gentibus, et exaltabor in terra.
“Desist, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted throughout the earth!”
11 Dominus virtutum nobiscum; susceptor noster Deus Jacob.
The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge.
