Psalms 46

1 To the chief music-maker. Of the sons of Korah; put to Alamoth. A Song. God is our harbour and our strength, a very present help in trouble.

[For the Chief Musician. By the sons of Korah. According to Alamoth.] God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

2 For this cause we will have no fear, even though the earth is changed, and though the mountains are moved in the heart of the sea;

Therefore we won't be afraid, though the earth changes, though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas;

3 Though its waters are sounding and troubled, and though the mountains are shaking with their violent motion. (Selah)

though its waters roar and are troubled, though the mountains tremble with their swelling. (Selah)

4 There is a river whose streams make glad the resting-place of God, the holy place of the tents of the Most High.

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 has taken his place in her; she will not be moved: he will come to her help at the dawn of morning.

God is in her midst. She shall not be moved. God will help her at dawn.

6 The nations were angry, the kingdoms were moved; at the sound of his voice the earth became like wax.

The nations raged. The kingdoms were moved. He lifted his voice, and the earth melted.

7 The Lord of armies is with us; the God of Jacob is our high tower. (Selah)

The LORD of hosts is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)

8 Come, see the works of the Lord, the destruction which he has made in the earth.

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

9 He puts an end to wars over all the earth; by him the bow is broken, and the spear cut in two, and the carriage burned in the fire.

He makes wars cease throughout the earth. He breaks the bow, and shatters the spear. He burns the chariots in the fire.

10 Be at peace in the knowledge that I am God: I will be lifted up among the nations, I will be honoured through all 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 armies is with us; the God of Jacob is our high tower. (Selah)

The LORD of hosts is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)
