Psal. 46. Deus noster, refugium.
Ad Præstantem, filiis Choreh, super Gnalamoth.
Canticum.
1
On God our stay and strength we ground,that refuge else have none:
Aboundantly in trouble found,
when other helps are gone.
2
Though earth should change, we would not feare,although the mountaines steep;
Were rent, and hurri'd here and there,
dis-bowell'd in the deep.
3
Should waves of waters roare and swell,or should the mountaines shake;
When seas against the rockes rebell,
and billowes batt'rie make:
4
There is a river streaming by,makes glad Gods Citie walls:
The holy Torrent, O most-Hie,
that from thy Mansion falls.
5
Amidst her God this care hath tooke,remov'd she shall not be:
87
will God her keeper see.
6
The Heath'ns enrag'd these tumults felt,mov'd Kingdomes made a noise:
He thundred, and the earth did melt,
when God gave forth his voice.
7
The Lord of Hosts is on our side,our hosts to fortifie:
The God of Jacob shall abide
for us a refuge hie.
8
O come but hither, and beholdwhat workes the Lord hath wrought:
What desolations late, and old,
his hand on earth hath brought.
9
Unto the earths extremest ends,he maketh warre expire:
The bow he breakes, the speare he rends,
the chariots burnes with fire.
10
That I am God, surcease, and know,among the Heath'ns will I
Exalted be, by high and low,
and in the earth made hie.
11
The Lord of Hosts is on our side,our hosts to fortifie:
The God of Jacob shall abide
for us a refuge hie.
