Psalms 46

1 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.

To the chief music-maker. Of the sons of Korah; put to Alamoth. A Song. God is our harbour and our strength, a very present help in trouble.

2 Therefore we will not fear, when the earth shall be troubled; and the mountains shall be removed into the heart of the sea.

For this cause we will have no fear, even though the earth is changed, and though the mountains are moved in the heart of the sea;

3 Their waters roared and were troubled: the mountains were troubled with his strength.

Though its waters are sounding and troubled, and though the mountains are shaking with their violent motion. (Selah)

4 The stream of the river maketh the city of God joyful: the most High hath sanctified his own tabernacle.

There is a river whose streams make glad the resting-place of God, the holy place of the tents of the Most High.

5 God is in the midst thereof, it shall not be moved: God will help it in the morning early.

God has taken his place in her; she will not be moved: he will come to her help at the dawn of morning.

6 Nations were troubled, and kingdoms were bowed down: he uttered his voice, the earth trembled.

The nations were angry, the kingdoms were moved; at the sound of his voice the earth became like wax.

7 The Lord of armies is with us: the God of Jacob is our protector.

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

8 Come and behold ye the works of the Lord: what wonders he hath done upon earth,

Come, see the works of the Lord, the destruction which he has made in the earth.

9 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.

He puts an end to wars over all the earth; by him the bow is broken, and the spear cut in two, and the carriage burned in the fire.

10 Be still and see that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, and I will be exalted in the earth.

Be at peace in the knowledge that I am God: I will be lifted up among the nations, I will be honoured through all the earth.

11 The Lord of armies is with us: the God of Jacob is our protector.

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