John Trapp on Psalms 46:3

Verſ. 3.U: omnes procellae horriblli cum boatu circumſonent. Ethic. 3.7. Though the waters thereof roar and bee troubled] Heb. Be mudded; yet we will not fear, viz. with a baſe diſtruſtfull fear. Tanti eſt experientiam ſenſuni que auxilii divini habere. The tempeſtuous riſing and roaring of the Sea is ſo terrible, that Ariſtotle ſaith, whoſoever feareth it not, is either mad, or ſenſeleſſe. Fear not, ſaith the Angell to St. Paul himſelf in that dreadfull ſtorm, Act. 27.24. which implyeth, that he was afraid with a naturall fear; and he might be ſo without ſin. An a wefull fear of God is conſiſtent with faith; neither is any Beleever guilty of a Stoical apathie. The very Devills beleeve and tremble, Jam. 2.19. The A poſtles word there implieth, that they roar as the Sea roareth, and ſhrieke horribly.

Though the Mountains ſhake, &c.] As ſometimes Promontories fall with the force,Id quod Propheta miris verborum figuris additis illuſtrate Beza. and impetuous beating of the Sea upon them. Admit all this, and more (whether in a ſenſe literall, or allegoricall; ſet forth it is in a ſtrain high and hyperbolicall) yet wee will bear up, and bee bold to beleeve, that all ſhall go well with us.
