Psalms 46

1 Unto the end. To the sons of Korah, for confidants. A Psalm. Our God is our refuge and strength, a helper in the tribulations that have greatly overwhelmed us.

For the choirmaster. Of the sons of Korah. According to Alamoth. A song. God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in times of trouble.

2 Because of this, we will not be afraid when the earth will be turbulent and the mountains will be transferred into the heart of the sea.

Therefore we will not fear, though the earth is transformed and the mountains are toppled into the depths of the seas,

3 They thundered, and the waters were stirred up among them; the mountains have been disturbed by his strength.

though their waters roar and foam and the mountains quake in the surge.

4 The frenzy of the river rejoices the city of God. The Most High has sanctified his tabernacle.

There is a river whose streams delight the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells.

5 God is in its midst; it will not be shaken. God will assist it in the early morning.

God is within her; she will not be moved. God will help her when morning dawns.

6 The peoples have been disturbed, and the kingdoms have been bowed down. He uttered his voice: the earth has been moved.

Nations rage, kingdoms crumble; the earth melts when He lifts His voice.

7 The Lord of hosts is with us. The God of Jacob is our supporter.

The LORD of Hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.

8 Draw near and behold the works of the Lord: what portents he has set upon the earth,

Come, see the works of the LORD, who brings devastation upon the earth.

9 carrying away wars even to the end of the earth. He will crush the bow and break the weapons, and he will burn the shield with fire.

He makes wars to cease throughout the earth; He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; He burns the shields in the fire.

10 Be empty, and see that I am God. I will be exalted among the peoples, and I will be exalted upon the earth.

“Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted over the earth.”

11 The Lord of hosts is with us. The God of Jacob is our supporter.

The LORD of Hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.
