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 leader of the music. Of, or for, the sons of Korah. To be sung in the manner, or with the voice, of virgins.” God is our refuge and strength; An ever 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 will we not fear, though the earth be changed; Though the mountains tremble in the heart of the sea;

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

Though its waters roar and be troubled, And the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. (Pause)

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

A river with its streams shall make glad the city of God, The holy dwelling-place 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 the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God will help her, and that full early.

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

The nations raged; kingdoms were moved; He uttered his voice, 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. (Pause)

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

Come, behold the doings of the LORD; What desolations he hath 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 causeth wars to cease to the end of the earth; He hath broken the bow, and snapped the spear asunder, And burned the chariots in 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.

“Desist, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted throughout 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.
