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 of the music. Of, or for, the sons of Korah. To be sung in the manner, or with the voice, of virgins.” God is our refuge and strength; An ever 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 be changed; Though the mountains tremble in the heart of the sea;

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

Though its waters roar and be troubled, And the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. (Pause)

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

A river with its streams shall make glad the city of God, The holy 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 the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God will help her, and that full early.

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

The nations raged; 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 refuge. (Pause)

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

Come, behold the doings of the LORD; 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 causeth wars to cease to the end of the earth; He hath broken the bow, and snapped the spear asunder, And burned the chariots in 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 will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted throughout 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 refuge.
