Hexameters[;] Paraphrase of Psalm XLVI
- 1Gōd ĭs oŭr Strēngth ănd oŭr Rēfŭge: thērefŏre wīll wĕ nŏt trēmblĕ,
- 2Thō' thĕ Eārth bĕ rĕmōvĕd ănd thō' thĕ pĕrpētŭăl Moūntaīns
- 3Sink in the Swell of the Ocean! God is our Strength and our Refuge.
- 4There is a River the Flowing whereof shall gladden the City,
- 5Hallelujah! the City of God! Jehova shall help her.
- 6Thē Idōlătĕrs rāgĕd, the kingdoms were moving in fury;
- 7But he uttered his Voice: Earth melted away from beneath them.
- 8Halleluja! th' Eternal is with us, Almighty Jehova!
- 9Fearful the works of the Lord, yea fearful his Desolations;
- 10But He maketh the Battle to cease, he burneth the Spear and theChariot.
- 11Halleluja! th' Eternal is with us, the God of our Fathers!
