< Psalmorum 46 >
1 Psalmus, in finem, pro filiis Core pro occultis. Deus noster refugium, et virtus: adiutor in tribulationibus, quae invenerunt nos nimis.
To the chief music-maker. Of the sons of Korah; put to Alamoth. A Song. God is our harbour and our strength, a very present help in trouble.
2 Propterea non timebimus dum turbabitur terra: et transferentur montes in cor maris.
For this cause we will have no fear, even though the earth is changed, and though the mountains are moved in the heart of the sea;
3 Sonuerunt, et turbatae sunt aquae eorum: conturbati sunt montes in fortitudine eius.
Though its waters are sounding and troubled, and though the mountains are shaking with their violent motion. (Selah)
4 Fluminis impetus laetificat civitatem Dei: sanctificavit tabernaculum suum Altissimus.
There is a river whose streams make glad the resting-place of God, the holy place of the tents of the Most High.
5 Deus, in medio eius, non commovebitur: adiuvabit eam Deus mane diluculo.
God has taken his place in her; she will not be moved: he will come to her help at the dawn of morning.
6 Conturbatae sunt gentes, et inclinata sunt regna: dedit vocem suam, mota est terra.
The nations were angry, the kingdoms were moved; at the sound of his voice the earth became like wax.
7 Dominus virtutum nobiscum: susceptor noster Deus Iacob.
The Lord of armies is with us; the God of Jacob is our high tower. (Selah)
8 Venite, et videte opera Domini, quae posuit prodigia super terram:
Come, see the works of the Lord, the destruction which he has made in the earth.
9 auferens bella usque ad finem terrae. Arcum conteret, et confringet arma: et scuta comburet igni:
He puts an end to wars over all the earth; by him the bow is broken, and the spear cut in two, and the carriage burned in the fire.
10 Vacate, et videte quoniam ego sum Deus: exaltabor in gentibus, et exaltabor in terra.
Be at peace in the knowledge that I am God: I will be lifted up among the nations, I will be honoured through all the earth.
11 Dominus virtutum nobiscum: susceptor noster Deus Iacob.
The Lord of armies is with us; the God of Jacob is our high tower. (Selah)
