Psalms 46

1 To the ouercomere, the song of the sones `of Chore, `for yongthis. Oure God, thou art refuyt, and vertu; helpere in tribulacions, that han founde vs greetly.

For the end, for the sons of Core; a Psalm concerning secret things. God is our refuge and strength, a help in the afflictions that have come heavily upon us.

2 Therfor we schulen not drede, while the erthe schal be troblid; and the hillis schulen be borun ouer in to the herte of the see.

Therefore will we not fear when the earth is troubled, and the mountains are removed into the depths of the seas.

3 The watris of hem sowneden, and weren troblid; hillis weren troblid togidere in the strengthe of hym.

Their waters have roared and been troubled, the mountains have been troubled by his might. (Pause)

4 The feersnesse of flood makith glad the citee of God; the hiyeste God hath halewid his tabernacle.

The flowings of the river gladden the city of God: the Most High has sanctified his tabernacle.

5 God in the myddis therof schal not be moued; God schal helpe it eerli in the grey morewtid.

God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her with his countenance.

6 Hethene men weren disturblid togidere, and rewmes weren bowid doun; God yaf his vois, the erthe was moued.

The nations were troubled, the kingdoms tottered: he uttered his voice, the earth shook.

7 The Lord of vertues is with vs; God of Jacob is oure vptakere.

The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our helper. (Pause)

8 Come ye, and se the werkis of the Lord; whiche wondris he hath set on the erthe.

Come, and behold the works of the Lord, what wonders he has achieved on the earth.

9 He doynge awei batels til to the ende of the lond; schal al to-brese bouwe, and schal breke togidere armuris, and schal brenne scheldis bi fier.

Putting an end to wars as for the ends of the earth; he will crush the bow, and break in pieces the weapon, and burn the bucklers with fire.

10 Yyue ye tent, and se ye, that Y am God; Y schal be enhaunsid among hethene men; and Y schal be enhaunsid in erthe.

Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.

11 The Lord of vertues is with vs; God of Jacob is oure vptakere.

The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our helper.
