< 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.
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 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 do change, and though the mountains be moved 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 at 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 holiest dwelling-place 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 approach of morning.
6 Nations were troubled, and kingdoms were bowed down: he uttered his voice, the earth trembled.
Nations were in tumult, 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.
The LORD of hosts 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, behold the works of the LORD, who hath made desolations 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 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 still and see that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, and I will be exalted in 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 armies is with us: the God of Jacob is our protector.
The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our high tower. (Selah)
