PARAPHRASE OF PSALM 46. HEXAMETERS, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: God is our strength and our refuge: therefore will we not tremble
Last Line: Halleluja! Th' eternal is with us, the god of our fathers!


God is our Strength and our Refuge: therefore will we not tremble,

Tho' the Earth be removed; and tho the perpetual Mountains,
Sink in the Swell of the Ocean! God is our Strength & our Refuge.
There is a River, the Flowing whereof shall gladden the City,
Hallelujah! the City of God! Jehova shall help her.

The Idolaters raged, the Kingdoms were moving in fury --
But He utter'd his Voice: Earth melted away from beneath them.
Halleluja! th' Eternal is with us, Almighty Jehova!

Fearful the works of the Lord, yea, fearful his Desolations --
But He maketh the Battle to cease, he burneth the Spear & the Chariot.
Halleluja! th' Eternal is with us, the God of our Fathers!
