A New Version of the Psalms
PSALM XLVI.
Tate and Brady
God is our refuge in distress,
A present help when dangers press;
In him undaunted we'll confide:
2,3 Though earth were from her centre tost,
And mountains in the ocean lost,
Torn piece-meal by the roaring tide.
4. A gentler stream with gladness still
The city of our Lord shall fill,
The royal seat of God most high:
5 God dwells in Sion, whose fair tow'rs
Shall mock th'assaults of earthly pow'rs,
While his almighty aid is nigh.
6 In tumults, when the heathen rag'd,
And kingdoms war against us wag'd,
He thunder'd, and dispers'd their pow'rs:
7 The Lord of hosts conducts our arms,
Our tow'r of refuge in alarms,
Our fathers' guardian God and ours.
8 Come see the wonders he hath wrought,
On earth what desolation brought;
How he has calm'd the jarring world:
9 He broke the warlike spear and bow;
With them their thund'ring chariots too
Into devouring flames were hurl'd.
10 Submit to God's almighty sway,
For him the heathen shall obey,
And earth her sov'reign Lord confess:
11 The God of hosts conducts our arms,
Our tow'r of refuge in alarms,
As to our fathers in distress.
