Mar sin ged ghluaist' an talamh trom, cha-n aobhar eagal duinn

Overall Meaning

Psalm 46: Stroudwater is a haunting and beautiful song that speaks of the beauty and power of nature, as well as the timeless peace that can be found within it. The lyrics are in Gaelic, but the emotion and feeling behind them are universal. The first verse speaks of the weight of the earth, and how it is not a cause for fear, even though the mountains may tremble and the sea may rage. The second verse speaks of the beauty and turbulence of the water, and how even though it may rush and roar over the land, there is always a tranquil stream beneath it. The final lines speak of a holy place, a place of rest and peace that is above all earthly things.


The song is a hymn to nature, and to the power and beauty of the world around us. It is a reminder that, even in the midst of chaos and turmoil, there is always a place of peace and stillness that can be found within us, if we are willing to seek it out.

Mar sin ged ghluaist' an talamh trom, cha-n aobhar eagal duinn
Even though the heavy earth moves, there is no reason to be afraid


Ged thilgeadh fòs na sleibhte mòr' am builsgein fairg' is tuinn
Though the great mountains are thrown into the tumultuous sea and waves


Na h-uisgeacha le beucaich bhuirb, ged rachadh thar a cheil'
Even if the noisy, rough waters were to go beyond their bounds


Le'n ataireachd ged bhiodh air chrith na beanntan àrd' gu leir
With its roar though all the tall mountains may shake


Ta amhainn ann, le 'sruthaibh sèimh, ni cathair Dhe ro-ait
There is a river whose calm streams make the city of God glad


Fior-àite naomh an ti a's àird', am bheil sior-chòhnuidh aig
The holy residence of the Most High, where He forever dwells

Ah , i love this Song :)

"Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing"

You should really make more christian songs, this is great

As a real lover of the Psalms it's so great to hear one finally being sang by a singer as lovely as Eurielle. Could I please ask that you consider doing more of these in the future? The words are so deep to match the real beauty of your singing.

Cassie Keegan

Been listening to Eurielle's full cd on spotify for quite a few months now, finally branching out to listening to the singles Eurielle has released. Pressed play on Psalm 46 and as soon as the first word was sung I literally said bless because it's sung entirely an Gàidhlig. I am so happy to hear more singers branching out to using Gàidhlig. What a time to be alive! This is beautiful!

What is gaidhlig?

I never get tired of listening to your sweet voice.

Literally a voice straight out of heaven. When I die, I want to hear Eurielle's voice.

Freddy Flo

MootaChan in case you're christian (i'm not) and believe in heaven i'm sure that you'll hear it every day... after all she's got an angelic voice and agels live in heaven (correct me if i'm wrong with my knowledge 'bout christianity)

Jonathan G

Christ died and rose again to pay the punishment for the sins of those who would put their trust in him. Turn from your sins and cry to God for mercy, and you will be given everlasting life! But if not, you will fearfully perish. ;(

Ben Laws

Angelic, Breathtaking, and Simply Spectacular! It was definitely worth the wait. Thank You Eurielle!

Allen Richter

This. This is amazing. So captivating and powerful. Keep making songs, I love your voice! Incredible!
