This powerful yet simple rendition of Psalm 46 is set to music for Bible memory and prayer, using the Coverdale Psalter version which is the same as found in the traditional Book of Common Prayer (BCP 1662) and Manual of Plainsong. This setting uses the Sarum Psalm Tone V from the liber usalis. For those who wish to sing along to the Psalms during the daily office or liturgical prayers, this recording can be found on all streaming platforms as well as here on Youtube by looking up Psalm 46 and Stacey Plays Hymns or clicking here!
Psalm 46 GOD is our hope and • strength, * a very present • help in trouble
Therefore will we not fear, though the earth be • moved, and though the hills be carried into the • midst of the sea;
Though the waters thereof rage and • swell, * and though the mountains shake at the • tempest of the same.
The rivers of the flood thereof shall make glad the city of •God, * the holy place of the tabernacle of • the Most Highest.
God is in the midst of her, therefore shall she not be re-moved: * God shall help her, and . that right early.
The heathen make much ado, and the kingdoms are • moved: * but God hath showed his voice, and the • earth shall melt away.
The Lord of hosts is • with us; * the God of Jacob - is our refuge.
O come hither and behold the works of the • Lord, * what destruction he hath • brought upon the earth.
He maketh wars to cease in all the • world; * he breaketh the bow, and knappeth the spear in sunder, and burneth the chariots in the fire.
Be still then, and know that I am • God: * I will be exalted among the heathen, and I will be exalted in the earth. The Lord of hosts is • with us; the God of Jacob • is our refuge.
Glory be to the Father and to the • Son, * and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever. shall be, world • without end. Amen.
