III. The Forty-sixth Psalm
It has long been recognized that the Forty-sixth Psalm in the King James Bible has something to do with the Shakespeare Mystery. Anthony Burgess wrote thereof as follows:
“It would be pleasant to think that Shakespeare was responsible, in part, for the majesty of the following:
46:1
27783 = God is our refuge and strength; a very present helpe in trouble.
46:2
25140 = Therfore will not we feare, though the earth be removed:
25186 = and though the mountaines be caried into the midst of the sea,
46:3
21736 = Though the waters thereof roare, and be troubled,
29088 = though the mountaines shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.
46:4
7214 = There is a river,
21306 = the streames wherof shall make glad the citie of God:
19776 = the holy place of the Tabernacles of the most High.
46:5
18882 = God is in the midst of her: she shal not be moved:
15090 = God shall helpe her, and that right early.
46:6
17597 = The heathen raged, the kingdomes were moved:
15907 = he uttered his voyce, the earth melted.
46:7
15221 = The Lord of hosts is with us,
14069 = the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
46:8
15149 = Come, behold the Workes of the Lord,
17919 = what desolations hee hath made in the earth.
46:9
21932 = He maketh warres to cease unto the end of the earth:
23023 = hee breaketh the bow, and cutteth the speare in sunder,
14120 = he burneth the chariot in the fire.
46:10
12080 = Be stil, and know that I am God:
13996 = I will bee exalted among the heathen,
12241 = I will be exalted in the earth.
46:11
15221 = The Lord of hosts is with us,
14069 = the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

Whether he had anything to do with it or not, he is in it. It is the forty-sixth Psalm. The forty-sixth word from the beginning is SHAKE, and the forty-sixth word from the end, if we leave out the cadential ‘Selah’, is SPEAR. And, in 1610, Shakespeare was forty-six years old. If this is mere chance, fancy must allow us to think that it is happy chance. The greatest prose-work of all time has the name of the greatest poet set cunningly in it.“ (Anthony Burgess, Shakespeare, Penguin Books, 1972, pp. 233-234)
