< 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.
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 will we not fear when the earth is troubled, and the mountains are removed 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 Their waters have roared and been troubled, the mountains have been troubled by his might. (Pause)
The waters thereof roar and foam, The mountains tremble with the swelling thereof (Selah)
4 The flowings of the river gladden the city of God: the Most High has sanctified his tabernacle.
A river! whose channels, shall gladden the city of God, The Most High, hath hallowed his habitation.
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 shaken, God will help her, by the turnings of the morning.
6 The nations were troubled, the kingdoms tottered: he uttered his voice, the earth shook.
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 helper. (Pause)
Yahweh of hosts, is with us, A high tower for us, is the God of Jacob. (Selah)
8 Come, and behold the works of the Lord, what wonders he has achieved on the earth.
Come! view the doings of Yahweh, —Who hath set 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.
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 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.
Yahweh of hosts, is with us, A high tower for us, is the God of Jacob. (Selah)
