< 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.
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 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, when the earth shall be troubled; and the mountains shall be removed into the heart of the sea.
3 They thundered, and the waters were stirred up among them; the mountains have been disturbed by his strength.
Their waters roared and were troubled: the mountains were troubled with his strength.
4 The frenzy of the river rejoices 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 its midst; it will not be shaken. God will assist it in the early morning.
God is in the midst thereof, it shall not be moved: God will help it in the morning early.
6 The peoples have been disturbed, and the kingdoms have been bowed down. He uttered his voice: the earth has been moved.
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 supporter.
The Lord of armies is with us: the God of Jacob is our protector.
8 Draw near and behold the works of the Lord: what portents he has set upon the earth,
Come and behold ye the works of the Lord: what wonders he hath done upon 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.
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 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 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 supporter.
The Lord of armies is with us: the God of Jacob is our protector.
