PSALM XLVI. I. ON GOD supreme our Hope depends , Whose omnipresent Sight Ev'n to the pathless Realms extends Of uncreated Night . II . Plung'd in th' Abyss of deep Distress , To Him we rais'd our Cry : His Mercy bad our Sorrows cease , And fill'd our Tongue with Joy . III . Tho' Earth her ancient Seat forsake By Pangs convulsive torn , Tho' her self-balanc'd Fabrick shake , And ruin'd Nature mourn : IV . Tho' Hills be in the Ocean lost With all their trembling Load , No Fear shall e'er disturb the Just , Or shake his Trust in GOD . V. Nations remote and Realms unknown In vain resist his Sway ; For lo ! Jehovah's Voice is shewn , And Earth shall melt away . VI . Let War's devouring Surges rise And swell on ev'ry Side : The Lord of Hosts our Safeguard is , And Jacob's GOD our Guide .
