Psalm 46
Deus noster refugium
1
God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.
2
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth be moved,
and though the mountains be toppled into the depths of the sea;
3
Though its waters rage and foam,
and though the mountains tremble at its tumult.
4
The LORD of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our stronghold.
5
There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the holy habitation of the Most High.
6
God is in the midst of her; she shall not be overthrown;
God shall help her at the break of day.
7
The nations make much ado, and the kingdoms are shaken;
God has spoken, and the earth shall melt away.
8
The LORD of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our stronghold.
9
Come now and look upon the works of the LORD ,
what awesome things he has done on earth.
10
It is he who makes war to cease in all the world;
he breaks the bow, and shatters the spear, and burns the shields with fire.
11
"Be still, then, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations; I will be exalted in the earth."
12
The LORD of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our stronghold.
