Psalms 46

1 For the choirmaster. Of the sons of Korah. According to Alamoth. A song. God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in times of trouble.

To the chief Musician. Of the sons of Korah. On Alamoth. A song. God is our refuge and strength, a help in distresses, very readily found.

2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth is transformed and the mountains are toppled into the depths of the seas,

Therefore will we not fear though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the heart of the seas;

3 though their waters roar and foam and the mountains quake in the surge.

Though the waters thereof roar [and] foam, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. (Selah)

4 There is a river whose streams delight the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells.

There is a river the streams whereof make glad the city of God, the sanctuary of the habitations of the Most High.

5 God is within her; she will not be moved. God will help her when morning dawns.

God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her at the dawn of the morning.

6 Nations rage, kingdoms crumble; the earth melts when He lifts His voice.

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

7 The LORD of Hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.

Jehovah of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our high fortress. (Selah)

8 Come, see the works of the LORD, who brings devastation upon the earth.

Come, behold the works of Jehovah, what desolations he hath made in the earth:

9 He makes wars to cease throughout the earth; He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; He burns the shields in the fire.

He hath made wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariots in the fire.

10 “Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted over the earth.”

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

11 The LORD of Hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.

Jehovah of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our high fortress. (Selah)
