The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.

Verse 6 is found in chapter 46 of Psalms. Psalm 46 proclaims that God is a refuge amid natural catastrophes and political threats. The language of raging waters, shaking mountains, and wars creates a setting in which the most stable structures appear to disappear. Yet the city of God remains because the Lord is in its midst. The command to be still and recognize God summarizes the theme: divine sovereignty remains even when circumstances are chaotic.

Gott ist bei ihr drinnen, darum wird sie fest bleiben; Gott hilft ihr früh am Morgen.
Bramaron las gentes, titubearon los reinos; Dio él su voz, derritiose la tierra.
Rugen las naciones y se tambalean los reinos; él hace oír su voz y la tierra se derrite.
Des nations s'agitent, des royaumes s'ébranlent; Il fait entendre sa voix: la terre se fond d'épouvante.
Le genti romoreggiarono, i regni si commossero; Egli diede fuori la sua voce, la terra si strusse.
Os gentios se embraveceram; os reinos se moveram; ele levantou a sua voz e a terra se derreteu.
萬邦喧嚷,國度動搖; 上帝出聲,地就熔化。
