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

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

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

4 The frenzy of the river rejoices 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 its midst; it will not be shaken. God will assist it in the early morning.

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

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

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 supporter.

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

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

Come, behold the works of the LORD, who hath made desolations in 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 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 empty, and see that I am God. I will be exalted among the peoples, and I will be exalted upon 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 supporter.

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