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. For the Sons of Korah, on Alamoth. A Song. God—for us, is a refuge and strength, A help in distresses, soon found.

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

For this cause, will we not fear, Though the earth showeth change, Or the mountains slip into the heart of the seas:

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

The waters thereof roar and foam, The mountains tremble 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.

A river! whose channels, shall gladden the city of God, The Most High, hath hallowed his habitation.

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 shaken, God will help her, by the turnings of the morning.

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

Nations have roared, Kingdoms have tottered, He hath uttered his voice, Earth melteth.

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

Yahweh of hosts, is with us, A high tower for us, is the God of Jacob. (Selah)

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

Come! view the doings of Yahweh, —Who hath set desolations 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 unto the end of the earth, —The bow, he shivereth, And breaketh in pieces the spear, war-chariots, burneth he up 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.”

Let be! 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.

Yahweh of hosts, is with us, A high tower for us, is the God of Jacob. (Selah)
