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 OVERSEER. BY SONS OF KORAH. FOR GIRLS’ [VOICES]. A SONG. God [is] our refuge and strength, A most sure help in adversities.

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

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

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

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

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

A river—its streams make glad the city of God, Your holy place of the dwelling places of the Most High.

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

God [is] in her midst—she is not moved, God helps her at the turn of the morning!

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

Nations have been troubled, Kingdoms have been moved, He has given forth with His voice—earth melts.

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

YHWH of Hosts [is] with us, The God of Jacob [is] a tower for us. (Selah)

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

Come, see the works of YHWH, Who has done astonishing things 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.

Causing wars to cease, To the end of the earth, He shatters the bow, And He has cut apart the spear, He burns chariots with fire.

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

Desist, and know that I [am] God, I am exalted among nations, I am exalted in the earth.

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

YHWH of hosts [is] with us, The God of Jacob [is] a tower for us! (Selah)
