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.

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 not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;

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 be troubled, though the mountains shake with 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 shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles 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, and that right early.

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

The heathen raged, the 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 refuge. (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, what desolations he has made 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 makes wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaks the bow, and cuts the spear in two; he burns the chariot 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 heathen, 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 refuge. (Selah)
