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.

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 fear, though the earth is transformed and the mountains are toppled into the depths 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 their waters roar and foam and the mountains quake in the surge.

Their waters roared and were troubled: the mountains were troubled with his strength.

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

The stream of the river maketh the city of God joyful: the most High hath sanctified his own tabernacle.

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

God is in the midst thereof, it shall not be moved: God will help it in the morning early.

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

Nations were troubled, and kingdoms were bowed down: he uttered his voice, the earth trembled.

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

The Lord of armies is with us: the God of Jacob is our protector.

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

Come and behold ye the works of the Lord: what wonders he hath done upon 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.

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.

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 see that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, and I will be exalted in the earth.

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

The Lord of armies is with us: the God of Jacob is our protector.
