< Psalms 46 >
1 For the Chief Musician. By the sons of Korah. According to Alamoth. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Unto the end, for the sons of Core, for the hidden. Our God is our refuge and strength: a helper in troubles, which have found us exceedingly.
2 Therefore we will not be afraid, though the earth changes, though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas;
Therefore we will not fear, when the earth shall be troubled; and the mountains shall be removed into the heart of the sea.
3 though its waters roar and are troubled, though the mountains tremble with their swelling. (Selah)
Their waters roared and were troubled: the mountains were troubled with his strength.
4 There is a river, the streams of which make the city of God glad, the holy place of the tents of the Most High.

5 God is within her. She shall not be moved. God will help her at dawn.

6 The nations raged. The kingdoms were moved. He lifted his voice and the earth melted.
Nations were troubled, and kingdoms were bowed down: he uttered his voice, the earth trembled.

8 Come, see the LORD’s works, what desolations he has made in the earth.

Making wars to cease even to the end of the earth. He shall destroy the bow, and break the weapons: and the shield he shall burn in the fire.
