< 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 Musician. Of the sons of Korah. On Alamoth. A song. God is our refuge and strength, a help in distresses, very readily found.
2 Therefore we will not fear, when the earth shall be troubled; and the mountains shall be removed into the heart of the sea.
Therefore will we not fear though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the heart of the seas;
3 Their waters roared and were troubled: the mountains were troubled with his strength.
Though the waters thereof roar [and] foam, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. (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 the streams whereof make glad the city of God, the sanctuary of the habitations 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 is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her at the dawn of the morning.
6 Nations were troubled, and kingdoms were bowed down: he uttered his voice, the earth trembled.
The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved; he uttered his voice, the earth melted.
7 The Lord of armies is with us: the God of Jacob is our protector.
Jehovah of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our high fortress. (Selah)
8 Come and behold ye the works of the Lord: what wonders he hath done upon earth,
Come, behold the works of Jehovah, what desolations he hath 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 hath made 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 still and see that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, and I will be exalted in the earth.
Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.
11 The Lord of armies is with us: the God of Jacob is our protector.
Jehovah of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our high fortress. (Selah)
