Psalm 46:1
Douay-Rheims 1899

Psalm 46 declares God a present refuge when earth, mountains, seas, nations, and kingdoms convulse. A life-giving river steadies the city, warfare is brought to an end, and frightened people are summoned into stillness.

2O clap your hands, all ye nations: shout unto God with the voice of Joy,
3For the Lord is high, terrible: a great king over all the earth.
