CHAP. XLVI.

1 The confidence which the Church hath in God. 8 An exhortation to behold it.

¹ [To the chiefe Musician for the sonnes of Korah, a song vpon Alamoth.] God is our refuge and strength: a very present helpe in trouble.

² Therfore will not we feare, though the earth be remoued: and though the mountaines be caried into the midst of the sea.²

³ Though the waters thereof roare, and be troubled, though the mountaines shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.

⁴ There is a riuer, the streames wherof shall make glad the citie of God: the holy place of the Tabernacles of the most High.

⁵ God is in the midst of her: she shal not be moued; God shall helpe her, and that right early.⁵

⁶ The heathen raged, the kingdomes were mooued: he vttered his voyce, the earth melted.

⁷ The Lord of hosts is with vs; the God of Iacob is our refuge. Selah.⁷

⁸ Come, behold the workes of the Lord, what desolations hee hath made in the earth.

⁹ He maketh warres to cease vnto the end of the earth: hee breaketh the bow, and cutteth the speare in sunder, he burneth the chariot in the fire.

¹⁰ Be stil, and know that I am God: I will bee exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

¹¹ The Lord of hosts is with vs; the God of Iacob is our refuge. Selah.
