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.

For the Leader; a Psalm of the sons of Korah; upon Alamoth. A Song. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

2 Therefore will we not fear when the earth is troubled, and the mountains are removed into the depths of the seas.

Therefore will we not fear, though the earth do change, and though the mountains be moved into the heart of the seas;

3 Their waters have roared and been troubled, the mountains have been troubled by his might. (Pause)

Though the waters thereof roar and foam, though the mountains shake at the swelling thereof. (Selah)

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

There is a river, the streams whereof make glad the city of God, the holiest dwelling-place of the Most High.

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 of her, she shall not be moved; God shall help her, at the approach of morning.

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

Nations were in tumult, kingdoms were moved; He uttered His voice, the earth melted.

7 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our helper. (Pause)

The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our high tower. (Selah)

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

Come, behold the works of the LORD, who hath made desolations in the 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.

He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; He breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; He burneth the chariots 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.

'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 helper.

The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our high tower. (Selah)
