As the psalm contains both the word "shake" and in a later verse the word "spear", so people have tried to claim it is a tribute to the playwright William Shakespeare. However, as the KJ Bible was pulbished in 1611, and Shakespeare's works did not appear in print (and he did not become famous) until will after his death in 1616, it is unlikely that this is a tribute to him. Especially since the KJ Bible is a revision of the Tyndale translation made in the early 1500's before Shakespeare was born, and also contains the words "shake" and "spear" in Psalms 46.

Well, it's not Shakespeare. That is just nonsense.
If I looked hard enough, I could probably find "Mary Poppins" or "George W. Bush" in there as well.
