Psalms 46

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

To the Overseer. — By sons of Korah. 'For the Virgins.' — A song. God [is] to us a refuge and strength, A help in adversities found most surely.

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

Therefore we fear not in the changing of earth, And in the slipping of mountains Into the heart of the seas.

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

Roar — troubled are its waters, Mountains they shake in its pride. (Selah)

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 — its rivulets rejoice the city of God, Thy holy place of the tabernacles 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] in her midst — she is not moved, God doth help her at the turn of the morn!

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

Troubled have been nations, Moved have been kingdoms, He hath given forth with His voice, earth melteth.

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

Jehovah of Hosts [is] with us, A tower for us [is] the God of Jacob. (Selah)

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

Come ye, see the works of Jehovah, Who hath done astonishing things 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.

Causing wars to cease, Unto the end of the earth, the bow he shivereth, And the spear He hath cut asunder, Chariots he doth burn with 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 am exalted among nations, I am exalted in the earth.

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

Jehovah of hosts [is] with us, A tower for us [is] the God of Jacob! (Selah)
