Psalms 46

1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

“For the leader of the music. Of, or for, the sons of Korah. To be sung in the manner, or with the voice, of virgins.” God is our refuge and strength; An ever present help in trouble.

2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth changes, and though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas,

Therefore will we not fear, though the earth be changed; Though the mountains tremble in the heart of the sea;

3 though the waters of it roar and are troubled, though the mountains tremble with the swelling of it. (Selah)

Though its waters roar and be troubled, And the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. (Pause)

4 There is a river, the streams of which make the city of God glad, the holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High.

A river with its streams shall make glad the city of God, The holy dwelling-place of the Most High.

5 God is in the midst of her. She shall not be moved. God will help her, and that right early.

God is the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God will help her, and that full early.

6 The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved, he uttered his voice, the earth melted.

The nations raged; kingdoms were moved; He uttered his voice, the earth melted.

7 Jehovah of hosts is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)

The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. (Pause)

8 Come, behold the works of Jehovah, what desolations he has made in the earth.

Come, behold the doings of the LORD; What desolations he hath made in the earth!

9 He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth. He breaks the bow, and cuts the spear in two. He burns the chariots in the fire.

He causeth wars to cease to the end of the earth; He hath broken the bow, and snapped the spear asunder, And burned the chariots in fire.

10 Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted in the earth.

“Desist, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted throughout the earth!”

11 Jehovah of hosts is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)

The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge.
