Psalmorum 46

1 in finem pro filiis Core pro arcanis psalmus Deus noster refugium et virtus adiutor in tribulationibus quae invenerunt nos nimis

For the leader. Of the Korahites, on 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

So we have no fear, though earth should change, and the hills totter into the heart of the ocean.

3 sonaverunt et turbatae sunt aquae eorum conturbati sunt montes in fortitudine eius diapsalma

Let its waters roar and foam, let the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. On our side is the Lord of hosts, our sure defence is the God of Jacob. (Selah)

4 fluminis impetus laetificat civitatem Dei sanctificavit tabernaculum suum Altissimus

A river there is, whose streams make glad God’s city, the home the Most High has hallowed.

5 Deus in medio eius non commovebitur adiuvabit eam Deus mane diluculo

God is within her: she cannot be shaken. God helps her at the turn of the morning.

6 conturbatae sunt gentes inclinata sunt regna dedit vocem suam mota est terra

Nations roared, kingdoms tottered: he uttered his voice, earth melted away.

7 Dominus virtutum nobiscum susceptor noster Deus Iacob diapsalma

On our side is the Lord of hosts, our sure defence is the God of Jacob.

8 venite et videte opera Domini quae posuit prodigia super terram

Come and see what the Lord has done, working appallingly in the earth.

9 auferens bella usque ad finem terrae arcum conteret et confringet arma et scuta conburet in igne

He stills wars to the ends of the earth – breaking the bow, snapping the spear, burning the chariots in the fire.

10 vacate et videte quoniam ego sum Deus exaltabor in gentibus exaltabor in terra

‘Refrain; and know surely that I am God, high over the nations, high over the world.’

11 Dominus virtutum nobiscum susceptor noster Deus Iacob

On our side is the Lord of Hosts, our sure defence is the God of Jacob. (Selah)
