Psalm 46 (Materna CMD)

1 God is our refuge and our strength,in straits a present aid;2 Therefore, although the earth remove,we will not be afraid:Though hills amidst the seas be cast;3 Though waters roaring make,And troubled be; yea, though the hills,by swelling seas do shake.4 A river is, whose streams do gladthe city of our God;The holy place, wherein the Lordmost high hath his abode.5 God in the midst of her doth dwell;nothing shall her remove:The Lord to her an helper will,and that right early, prove.6 The heathen raged tumultuously,the kingdoms moved were:The Lord God uttered his voice,the earth did melt for fear.7 The Lord of hosts upon our sidedoth constantly remain:The God of Jacob’s our refuge,us safely to maintain.8 Come, and behold what wondrous workshave by the Lord been wrought;Come, see what desolationshe on the earth hath brought.9 Unto the ends of all the earthwars into peace he turns:The bow he breaks, the spear he cuts,in fire the chariot burns.10 Be still, and know that I am God;among the heathen IWill be exalted; I on earthwill be exalted high.11 Our God, who is the Lord of hosts,is still upon our side;The God of Jacob our refugefor ever will abide.
