John Trapp on Psalms 46:2

Verſ. 2. Therefore will we not fear, though the earth, &c.] No not in the greateſt concuſſions of States, and revolutions in nature. Earthquakes are very dreadfull, and lay whole Cities on heaps ſometimes (as Antioch often, which was therehence called [non-Latin text not transcribed]) but though not ſome part only, but the whole earth ſhould be turned topſy-turvy,1 ege Plindib. 2, cap. 83. & 88. as a man wipeth a diſh, wiping it, and turning it upſide down, 2 King. 21.13. yea though heaven and earth ſhould be mingled, Heb. 13.26. in this alſo the Beleever would be confident, becauſe God is with him (Pſal. 23.4. & 27.1.) whoſe praiſe and promiſe is, to ſee to his Servants ſafety in the greateſt dangers, and to ſet them out of the gunſhot.

And though the Mountaines be carried into the midſt of the Sea] Though all the World ſhould be reduced again into that firſt Chaos of confuſion.

Si fract us illab at ur orbis,Horat. Od. 3. Lib. 3. Impavidum forlent ruina.
