Psalms 46

1 For the end, for the sons of Core; a Psalm concerning secret things. God is our refuge and strength, a help in the afflictions that have come heavily upon us.

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 will we not fear when the earth is troubled, and the mountains are removed 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 Their waters have roared and been troubled, the mountains have been troubled by his might. (Pause)

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

4 The flowings of the river gladden the city of God: the Most High has sanctified his tabernacle.

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

5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her with his countenance.

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

6 The nations were troubled, the kingdoms tottered: he uttered his voice, the earth shook.

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 helper. (Pause)

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

8 Come, and behold the works of the Lord, what wonders he has achieved on the earth.

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

9 Putting an end to wars as for the ends of the earth; he will crush the bow, and break in pieces the weapon, and burn the bucklers with 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 amongst the nations, I will be exalted in 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 helper.

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