< 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 OVERSEER. BY SONS OF KORAH. FOR GIRLS’ [VOICES]. A SONG. God [is] our refuge and strength, A most sure help in adversities.
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 we do not fear in the changing of earth, And in the slipping of mountains Into the heart of the seas.
3 Their waters roared and were troubled: the mountains were troubled with his strength.
Roar—troubled are its waters, Mountains shake in its pride. (Selah)
4 The stream of the river maketh the city of God joyful: the most High hath sanctified his own tabernacle.
A river—its streams make glad the city of God, Your holy place of the dwelling places 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 her midst—she is not moved, God helps her at the turn of the morning!
6 Nations were troubled, and kingdoms were bowed down: he uttered his voice, the earth trembled.
Nations have been troubled, Kingdoms have been moved, He has given forth with His voice—earth melts.
7 The Lord of armies is with us: the God of Jacob is our protector.
YHWH of Hosts [is] with us, The God of Jacob [is] a tower for us. (Selah)
8 Come and behold ye the works of the Lord: what wonders he hath done upon earth,
Come, see the works of YHWH, Who has done astonishing things 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.
Causing wars to cease, To the end of the earth, He shatters the bow, And He has cut apart the spear, He burns chariots with 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.
Desist, and know that I [am] God, I am exalted among nations, I am exalted in the earth.
11 The Lord of armies is with us: the God of Jacob is our protector.
YHWH of hosts [is] with us, The God of Jacob [is] a tower for us! (Selah)
